Intro To Energy Modeling Quiz

11 questions

  1. Which of the following is NOT true about Energy Modeling?

    		There are many Energy modeling software options
    		The Building must be completed in order to run an energy model
    		Building Energy Modeling simulates a building, on a computer, typically through the course of 1 year.
    		Energy Modeling can be a large contribution to LEED

  2. What was one of the examples given for why we need an energy model, instead of using pencil and paper?

    		Pen and paper method is bad for marketing
    		Building components interact with each other and with the weather, and these interactions can be highly complex.
    		People make too many mathematical errors using pen and paper
    		It's always faster than pen and paper

  3. Which of the following was NOT listed as a key factor when selecting software?

    		Cost of Software
    		Residential/non-residential capabilities
    		Whether you use Macintosh Vs. PC
    		Load Design Capability

  4. Which of the following is a common assumption in Energy-modeling?

    		All Walls and partitions are typically modeled
    		People typically yield 500 Btu/hr of net heat
    		It is always important to count all of the light fixtures to yield the total wattage of lights
    		Air is completely mixed, or stratified

  5. Which of the following would most likely need to get modeled?

    		An Elephant in a conditioned indoor enclosure
    		Emergency Fire ventilation that only runs if the building is on fire.
    		A cork bulletin board along a partition
    		An LED desk clock

  6. Which of the following is the LEAST likely to be entered in a conventional Energy model?

    		The efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment
    		The building's geographical location
    		The number of people in the building
    		The number of pipe fittings used in the plumbing system

  7. Which of the following are combined into one number?

    		Lights and plug loads
    		Lights and people
    		Lights, plug loads, and people
    		None of the above

  8. Which of the following are the common types of models listed?

    		Ballpark model to make a decision
    		Life cycle analysis model to evaluate spending on energy impacting equipment or materials
    		Certification models, such as a LEED model
    		All of the above

  9. When we model "the building" itself? Which of the following is the most true, per the presentation?

    		All of the building zones need to modeled individually, as they exist
    		The operating schedule of the building is very important.
    		The building control options do not consume energy and do not need to be modeled
    		U-values are the only important factor when modeling walls

  10. Which of the following is true regarding building design and energy modeling?

    		Energy modeling is always done after the building is designed
    		The building design is done by architects.
    		Some software packages calculate both load design and the energy model.
    		Energy modeling and Load design are always done separately

  11. By selecting "Yes" below, you agree that you have watched the entire course video and taken the quiz yourself, and you have complied with GBCI's Policies. False reporting may result in loss of your GBCI credentials. 

    		Yes
    		No, I am a liar
