This document outlines an exam for a Green Building Design course taken by a Civil Engineering student. The exam covers 6 course outcomes related to understanding environmental impacts of building materials, sustainable technologies, and achieving human thermal comfort through design. It is divided into 3 parts: Part A contains 10 multiple choice questions worth 2 marks each, testing remembering and understanding of key concepts. Part B has 2 answer writing questions worth 10 marks each, evaluating explaining and analyzing topics like embodied energy and building material alternatives. Part C is 1 long answer question worth 10 marks, assessing creating abilities like explaining building material types or rating systems. The document provides a breakdown of marks and assessment criteria using Bloom's taxonomy.
