BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
1. Most windows installed are fixed and minimal openings are provided for safety purposes. What does this sacrifice?
A. Comfort in line with proper ventilation
B. View
C. Cost
Explanation: The installation of fixed windows with minimal openings—often implemented for safety or aesthetic
reasons—sacrifices comfort primarily by compromising proper ventilation. Natural ventilation is a critical factor in
maintaining indoor air quality and thermal comfort. When windows are fixed and airflow is restricted, buildings become
reliant on mechanical ventilation or air conditioning systems, which may not always provide sufficient fresh air
circulation.
2. What special feature does the main entry door of the condominium have as an additional security feature?
A. No duplicates for the key
B. Only one company is allowed to do duplication
C.
D.
Explanation: The main entry door of many modern condominiums is equipped with a specialized locking system
wherein only one authorized company is permitted to duplicate keys. This security feature adds a layer of protection
by controlling and limiting unauthorized duplication, which is a common vulnerability in traditional lock-and-key systems.
3. A kind of hinge that is used for a door between the main kitchen and the dining area.
A. Pivot Hinge
B. Drop Leaf Hinge
C. Double Acting Gravity Hinge
D. Continuous Hinge
Explanation: A Double Acting Gravity Hinge is commonly used for doors between the main kitchen and dining area due
to its ability to swing in both directions and return to a closed position automatically. This type of hinge allows for easy
movement between spaces, which is essential in areas where frequent and fast transitions occur, such as when serving
food from the kitchen to the dining area.
4. What type of window gives you protection from rain in the absence of a canopy?
A. Casement
B. Sliding
C. Awning
D. Fixed
Explanation: An awning window is the most suitable type of window for providing protection from rain, especially in the
absence of a canopy. This window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom, creating a downward-
sloping surface that effectively deflects rainwater away from the interior even when the window is partially open.
5. What type of window admits 95% of air?
A. Casement
B. Sliding
C. Awning
D. Fixed
Explanation: Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward like a door, allowing for a full and
unobstructed opening. This design enables them to capture and direct fresh air into a space more effectively than other
window types. Their unique design offers a combination of excellent ventilation, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal,
making them an ideal choice for homeowners who want to improve indoor air circulation.
6. To block excessive sunlight, what “new material” is used for windows?
A. Louvers
B. Painted Tint
C. Solar Tint
D. Blinds
Explanation: Solar tint, also known as solar window film or solar control window film, is a modern material designed to
block excessive sunlight. It is a thin laminate film applied to glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles to reduce heat,
glare, and UV radiation. Made from materials like polyester, solar tint films can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays and
significantly reduce infrared heat, improving comfort and energy efficiency.
7. Which windows is the easiest to clean?
A. Awning
B. Sliding
C. Louvers
D. Casement
Explanation: Sliding windows are generally considered the easiest to clean among the options provided. Their design
features horizontal sashes that slide open, allowing straightforward access to both the interior and exterior surfaces.
Many sliding windows also offer removable sashes, making it even easier to clean all glass surfaces without the need
for ladders or specialized equipment.
8. Studs.
A. Wall Framing
B. Floor Framing
C. Slip Form
D. Ceiling Framing
Explanation: In construction, studs are vertical framing members that form the primary framework for both interior and
exterior walls. They provide structural support for wall coverings such as drywall, plywood, or siding, and transfer the
weight of the wall and its contents to the foundation or floor framing. Studs are typically made of wood or steel and are
installed at regular intervals along the length of the wall. They are essential components in wall framing, forming the
skeleton of the wall structure.
9. Furring.
A. Wall Framing
B. Floor Framing
C. Slip Form
D. Ceiling Framing
Explanation: involves installing thin strips—commonly wood or metal—onto ceilings to create a level surface for
attaching finish materials like drywall or paneling. This technique is widely used in ceiling framing to address uneven
joists, provide space for insulation, and support finish materials.
10. Joists.
A. Wall Framing
B. Floor Framing
C. Slip Form
D. Ceiling Framing
Explanation: horizontal structural members used in framing to support a floor or ceiling. They span open spaces
between beams and transfer loads to vertical supports like walls or columns. They are most commonly associated with
floor framing, though they are also used in ceiling systems. However, floor framing is the primary and more definitive
application.
11. Silo.
A. Wall Framing
B. Floor Framing
C. Slip Form
D. Ceiling Framing
Explanation: A silo is a tall, cylindrical structure used for storing bulk materials such as grain, cement, or coal. One of
the most efficient and widely used construction methods for building large concrete silos is the slip form technique. Slip
form construction is a method where concrete is poured into a continuously moving formwork that is slowly raised by
hydraulic jacks. This process allows for the creation of seamless, monolithic structures without joints, which is ideal for
tall, cylindrical forms like silos.
12. Which will you apply last before Painting?
A. Plaster
B. Putty
C. Neutralizer
D. Paint
Explanation: Used to fill in minor imperfections, cracks, or holes, ensuring a flawless finish. It's typically applied after

B. 8
C.32
Explanation:
I. Convert gallons to pints.
Multiply the number of gallons by conversion factor of 8 pints per gallon.
𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
4 gallons X 8 𝑐𝑎𝑛 = 32 pints
II. Determine the number of cans.
Divide the total number of pints by number of pints per can.
𝑐𝑎𝑛
32 pints / 1 𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑡 = 32 cans
14. A pail of paint has how many gallons?
A. 2
B. 4
C.8

can vary slightly.
