9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
10. Regional climate
11. This design variable refers to materials and construction, thermal insulation, surface qualities, shading and sun control.

15. In wall assemblies, what does WWR means?
16. Used to determine the amount of solar heat admitted through the glass divided by the total solar radiation incident on the glass.
17. Used to determine the amount of light transmitted through the glass.
18. As per PGBC, operable windows or balcony door shall be provided in regularly occupied spaces. The size of the opening shall be equal to at least __ of the floor area of regularly occupied spaces.
19. Light-colored building envelope, especially the roof areas which are the most vulnerable, can reduce heat transfer from the outside to the inside of the building. What is the minimum Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) for metal roof surfaces?
20. As per PGBC, in applicable buildings, lighting fixtures within the daylight zone shall be controlled with ____
21. As per PGBC, for covered car parks, a minimum of ____ of the lighting must be controlled by occupancy sensors.
22. As per PGBC, the escalator / moving ramp / walkway shall automatically be put on a standby mode when no activity has been detected for a maximum period of ___ minutes
23. As per PGBC, lighting shall switch off after the elevator has been inactive for a maximum period of __ minutes
24. As per PGBC, to reduce dependence on motorized systems to supply and distribute potable or non-potable water within the building, thus help reduce energy consumption, overhead or elevated water storage systems are used, provided there’s a ____ fire reserve over and above the average daily demand supply.
25. For rainwater harvesting, the minimum storage tanks size (in cum) shall be calculated by dividing the building footprint area by ___.
26. As per PGBC, a minimum of ___ of the required Unpaved Surface Area (USA), as required in Rule VII and VIII of the NBC, shall be vegetated with indigenous and adaptable species.
27. Describes how well a building element conducts heat, measuring the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area, under standardized conditions
28. A measure of how much light or solar radiation a surface reflects.
29. Building whose occupants experience acute health and/or comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent therein, but where no specific illness or cause can be identified
30. Maximum flow rate for a single flush water closet (in liters per flushing cycle)
