Air barrier paper is used during construction and throughout the lifetime of a building to prevent air and moisture from entering. Attic ventilation includes soffit vents under the roof that allow air in and ridge vents on the roof that allow air out, as well as roof turbines and gable vents. Batter boards are pieces of wood used to mark building limits for digging trenches. Rebar is steel bar with deformations to allow concrete and soil to grip it. Weep holes are small openings in masonry walls that allow water inside to move outside and evaporate.

2. Air barrier paper is a covering over a building interior during construction that keeps air from flowing into many parts of the building. Keeps overwhelming moisture and the elements from entering the building not during construction only, but during the life time of the building as well.Air Barrier Paper

3. Attic Ventilation pg.1Building used for ventilationSoffit vent- a vent under the roof that allows air to flow into the attic and upper space in a buildingRidge vent- a vent on the roof that allowed moist and humid air to flow out of the attic or upper level area

4. Attic Ventilation pg.2Roof turbine- pulls air out of the attic or upper area that the vents cant handle or get toGabel vent- a covered vent that allows warm dry air to escape the attic or upper area of a building

5. BackhoeA backhoe is piece of machinery in the field that is used to dig up trenches and holes with its bucket. Can be attacked to a front end loader, but can be separate as well. Bucket in picture is 2’ wide.

6. Batter BoardsBatter Boards were pieces of wood that were used to mark the outer areas of the building so the trenches and areas could be dug within the limits of the building.

16. Window in my room is a double window and the opening is 22” x 28” and 6” net opening. Sill is 2’6” off the floor. Codes state that sill must be below 44” and above 24”. The opening must be above 20”x24”. My window meets IBC requirements.Code Requirements pg.1

17. These are rubber covered stairs in the dorm. Rise measures at 7” and tread measures at 10 1/8”. Code states that the rise must be between 7 ¾” and 7 3/8”, and tread must be between 10 3/8” and 10”. The stairs meet these requirements. Code Requirements pg.2

18. Concrete Joints pg.1Control joint is a joint set into concrete to control where cracking happens. However, does not always work, as shown above.

19. Concrete Joints pg.2Isolation joint is a joint that separates two things, such as a column and the floor. In this photo, the joint is keeping the concrete and the brick separate.

20. Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU)CMU is a concrete block, usually in dimensions of around 8”x8”x16”. They are used in foundation walls mostly, but many buildings are made solely from them. Not all CMU’s are those dimensions, but some are even 6”x6”x16”, much like the ones on the right.

28. Front end loader is a piece of machinery that is used to move rubble, dirt, and even equipment around a construction sight. Difference between the front end loader and a bulldozer is the front end loader can lift things while a bulldozer can only push.Front End Loader

29. Known also as dry wall, it is the main wall material used in construction.Gypsum Board

30. Heat Pump pg.1One advantage of a heat pump is that they produce low-density heat which is safer for children and elderly, unlike fires, oil filled or electric fan heaters.One disadvantage of a heat pump is they are expensive and are used a lot in cold weather.Condenser systems typically has a heat exchanger section to cool down and condense incoming refrigerant vapor into liquid, a compressor to raise the pressure of the refrigerant and move it along, and a fan for blowing outside air through the heat exchanger section to cool the refrigerant inside.
