American National Standards Institute (ANSI) - correct answer ✔✔The organization that oversees the
creation, promulgation, and use of thousands of standards and guidelines that directly impact businesses
in nearly every sector.
ASHRAE 90.1-2010 - correct answer ✔✔A standard that sets the minimum requirements for energy-
efficient design for most buildings, except low rise residential buildings and their systems, new portions
of buildings and their systems, and new systems and equipment in existing buildings, as well as, criteria
for determining compliance with these requirements.
British Thermal Unit (BTU) - correct answer ✔✔The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
1 pound of liquid water by one degree (ex: from 60 to 60). This standard measure of energy is to
describe the energy content of fuels and compare energy use.
, Building Envelope - correct answer ✔✔The interface and the between the interior of a building and the
outdoor environment. Reducing heat transfer of hot or cold air through the building envelope is
important for energy efficiency measures. Insulation, air sealing, and windows can each play a role in
minimizing heat transfer.
Building Loads - correct answer ✔✔The amount of energy and the devices and ystems that use energy in
a building
Carbon Footprint - correct answer ✔✔The amount of greenhouse gases and specifically carbon dioxide
emitted by something such as a company or manufacturer and transport of a product during a given
period.
Carbon Offsets - correct answer ✔✔A purchasable form of trade that funds projects that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, such as forest restoration, power plant and factory updates, or increases to
the energy efficiency of buildings and transportation.
Chiller - correct answer ✔✔A machine that removes heat from a liquid via vapor-compression or
absorption refrigerant cycle. This liquid can then be circulated through a head exchanger to cool air or
equipment as required.
Chloroflurocarbon (CFC) - correct answer ✔✔Any of several simple gaseous compounds that contain
carbon, chlorine, fluorine, sometimes hydrogen, that are used as refrigerants, cleaning solvents and
aerosol propellants and in the manufacture of plastic foams, and that are believed to be major cause of
stratosphere ozone depletion. CFCs are banned in many countries, including the U.S.
Commissioning (Cx) - correct answer ✔✔Verification after construction that a structure and it systems
and subsystems meeting project requirements as intended and designed
Commissioning Authority (CxA) - correct answer ✔✔A third-party contracted by a building owner who
reports directly to the owner and oversees the incorporation of the design and energy goals throughout
the lifetime of the project,
Demand Response Program (DR) - correct answer ✔✔A program offered by utilities that allows large
energy users to reduce energy loads during peak energy usage times in exchange for reduced rates.
