2. Air Barrier Paper Air barriers retard the flow of air but do not stop the air completely. They also function to prevent the passage of water through the wall. In this case, the air barrier paper is located behind the brick to stop moisture and air from penetrating the exterior walls of the building.

28. Front End Loader Primarily used to load material (asphalt, demolition debris, dirt, feed, gravel, logs, raw minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, wood chips, etc.) into or onto another type of machinery. Differs from a backhoe and bulldozer by only being able to “scoop” material into its bucket and dump it in another location, not dig holes or scrape off land.
29. Gypsum Board An interior facing panel consisting of a gypsum core sandwiched between paper faces. Drywall, Sheetrock, Plasterboard
30. Heat Pump Advantage – Heats house efficiently Disadvantage - Difficult to zone because the furnace supplies air to the supply ducts at a single temperature Compressor/ Condenser - Forces air into the supply duct to move over a heating or cooling coil Air Handling Unit - Cleans and dehumidifies internal air and redistributes the air into the house
31. Insulation Purpose – used to reduce heat flow in OR out of a building Foam Insulation Batt Insulation Loose Fill Insulation Rigid Board Insulation
32. Lintel A beam that carries the load of a wall across a window or door opening Steel Lintel
33. Oriented Strand Board OSB is an engineered, non-veneered wood product formed by layering strands or flakes of wood in specific orientations. It is manufactured in wide mats from “cross-oriented” layers of thin, rectangular wooden strips compressed and bonded together with wax and resin adhesives.
34. Plumbing 1 Lavatory 1 ½” drain piping Water Closet 3” piping Manufactured Tub
35. Plumbing 2 The VTR provides relief of sewer gases, admission of oxygen for aerobic sewage digestion, and maintenance of the trap water seals which prevent sewer gases from entering the building. Plumbing Roof Vent Drop-in Sink
36. Plywood Layers of chipped wood are glued together, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping, and the grain on the outside surfaces runs in the same direction. The plies are bonded under heat and pressure. Veneer- A thin layer of wood or other material for facing or inlaying wood.
37. Radiant Barrier A reflective foil placed adjacent to a airspace in roof or wall assemblies as a deterrent to the passage of infrared energy
38. Rebar The deformation in the rebar help it to bond tightly to concrete This rebar was a #4 because its 4/8 or ½ inch thick
39. Steep Roof Drainage Gutter- a narrow channel forming the component of a roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. A gutter’s purpose is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base. Downspout- A pipe for carrying rain water from a roof or gutter to the ground or to a drain. Splash-block- A small masonry block laid with the top close to the ground surface to receive roof drainage from downspouts and to carry it away from the building. Pictures on Next Page
41. Steep Roof Materials Underlayment – layer of waterproof material used between roof sheathing and roofing, temporary protection of OSB sheathing before roofing is applied Shingle – A building material used as siding or roofing Metal Roof – Roof material that is prefabricated and ready to be set on-site. Galvanized Steel is usually used. Underlayment Wood Shingle Roof Clay Tile Roof Metal Panel Roof
43. Steep Roof Terms 1 Soffit – underside of roof overhang Eave – the horizontal edge at the low side of a sloping roof Rake – Sloping edge of a roof Fascia – exposed vertical face of an eave Ridge – level intersection of two roof planes in a gable roof Valley – trough formed by two roof slopes Building without a Fascia – building without exposed vertical face of an eave

47. Vapor Retarder Vapor retarder is a layer of material intended to obstruct the passage of water vapor through a building assembly. Installed on the warm-in-winter side of a structure
48. Waterproofing This form of waterproofing is liquid applied Waterproofing protects the wall from water seeping in
49. Weep Hole A weep hole is a small opening left in the outer wall of masonry construction as an outlet for water inside a building to move outside the wall and evaporate.
50. Windows Single-hung Sliding Casement Single-hung Window because it’s a window with 2 overlapping sashes, the lower can slide vertically in its track and upper is fixed Sliding Window because its a window with 1 fixed sash, and another that moves horizontally Casement because its a window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. Usually these windows are operated by a crank.
