The document outlines an exam question with two parts. Part A contains 9 multiple choice questions worth 2 marks each about sources of heat gain in buildings and various passive cooling techniques. Part B contains two essay questions worth 16 marks each about earth air tunnels, evaporative cooling, and case studies of energy saving measures for different climate zones.

1. Part A – 2marks x 9 = 18 Marks
1. What are the sources of heat gain in a building?
2. What is passive solar architecture, explain with
sketches.
3. Sketch a section and describe passive cooling
technique
4. Write a brief about shading devices with
respect to heat gain
5. What is the role of vegetation in reducing heat
gain?
6. What is convective cooling?
7. What is stack effect induced ventilation?
8. What are thermal chimneys?
9. What is courtyard effect?
Part B – 16 Marks x 2 = 32 Marks
1. a) What are earth air tunnels?
or
b) What is evaporative cooling?
2. Write and explain about various energy saving
measures in buildings through case studies for
a) Cold and cloudy zone
or
b) Warm and humid zone
