Illustrate your answers with freehand, annotated sketches, where appropriate. [Turn Over Part A Answer all Questions. Each question carries 5 marks A1) (i) List four factors that influence the eye’s ability to see detail. (ii) Write brief notes on one of these factors. A2) Table 1 below displays the sound pressure levels measured at various frequencies; combine these different levels together to determine the overall sound pressure level. Frequency 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 Sound Pressure Level dB 78 81 75 72 65 60 Table 1 A3) List the factors that govern the depth and the dimensions (width and thickness) of a simple concrete strip foundation in typical domestic masonry construction. A4) Calculate the U value of the following construction: A 100 mm thick block work wall, 75 mm wide insulated cavity and a 100 mm thick brick outer leaf. The thermal conductivities for the block, insulation and brick are 0.1 W/mK, 0.02 W/mK and 0.8 W/mK respectively. The internal surface resistance is 0.123 m2K/W and the external surface resistance is 0.055 m2K/W A5) (i) Describe the traditional architectural features of a building suitable for a hot dry climate. Explain how modern buildings in hot dry climates moderate the internal climate. A6 At 1:5 scale, sketch a method of carrying a load bearing masonry wall of cavity construction over a small (900mm wide) window opening. A7 Sketch a warm flat roof construction, you may assume that the main supporting structure is timber joists. Annotate your answer clearly. A8) (i) List the conditions required for mould growth. Describe one measure that could be employed to remedy interstitial condensation within a timber frame wall. Part B Answ
