The cfm is found by: ____.

The temperature on both sides of an exterior wall or panel is needed to help determine how much heat is entering or leaving the structure.

The heat gain on a structure can be summarized as the sum of the conduction loads, the internal loads, the solar loads and the infiltration loads.

The sensible heat portion of the duct load can be calculated as: ____.

Identify four ways that heat losses from the conditioned space can occur.

The ____-value is typically used to rate the thermal resistance of  insulation materials.

If a wall of a structure is comprised of a number of different materials, how is the R-value determined?

When it comes to sizing air conditioning and heating equipment bigger is definitely better.

What should be taken into account when performing a heat gain or heat loss calculation?

One of the most commonly used characteristics of building construction materials is the ____-value.

The occupants of a house do not add to the heat gain of the structure.

Construction materials have a minor effect on the rate of heat transfer through the structural envelope.

The ____________________ is simply the sum of the individual heat losses of the structure.

The U-value and the ____________________ are inverses of each other.

Oversized air conditioning equipment will cool the space faster.

The total heat loss for a structure is simply the sum of the heat losses experienced by all of the construction elements that make up a particular structure.

The _____________________-value describes the thermal conductivity of a material.

The term that is used to describe the area of a wall before any doors or windows are cut into it is ____________________.

There are different methods to calculate the heat gain on a structure based on the type of house and the number of wall exposures it has.
