Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To filter the water supply

To lower the water pressure to a safe level

To increase water pressure in low-pressure areas

To prevent leaks in the plumbing system

Question 2: How do you ensure proper pipe layout in plumbing design for a building?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By placing all pipes in a single line to minimize installation time

By considering pipe size, routing, and access for maintenance while minimizing pressure loss

By using the shortest possible pipe routes regardless of system requirements

By ignoring pipe size and focusing only on aesthetic concerns

Question 3: How does the type of electrical wiring impact the design of an electrical system in a building?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Different wire types have varying current carrying capacities

It does not impact the design significantly

It impacts the energy efficiency of the system

It affects the number of outlets that can be installed

Question 4: In HVAC system design, how is the required cooling load for a space typically determined?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using a constant temperature difference between supply and return air

By using a standard cooling load factor based on building type

By multiplying the total square footage of the space by a fixed factor

By calculating the heat gain from lighting, people, and equipment

Question 5: How does daylighting contribute to energy efficiency in a building?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It increases the building's heating demand

It decreases ventilation requirements

It enhances privacy in the building

It reduces the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours

Question 6: What is the primary role of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) in improving building sustainability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They improve the aesthetics of the building

They provide real-time data on occupant behavior

They optimize energy consumption and reduce waste by controlling building systems

They automate maintenance schedules
