    What is the difference between dormer window and skylight?

    • Old and new type

    • Skylight is parallel to roof and dormer is to wall

    • Fixed and operable

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Skylight is parallel to roof and dormer is to wall
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains that the difference between a dormer window and a skylight lies in their orientation. A skylight is parallel to the roof, while a dormer is attached to the wall. This means that a skylight is positioned on the roof and allows light to enter from above, while a dormer window protrudes from the wall and provides additional space and light to an attic or upper floor. The answer does not provide any information about the types of skylights or dormer windows, or whether they are fixed or operable.

    It is a high windows above eye level. The purpose is to bring outside light, fresh air, or both into the inner space.

    • Skylight

    • Clerestory

    • Dormer

    • Apex window

    Correct Answer
    A. Clerestory
    Explanation
    A clerestory is a high window above eye level that is designed to bring outside light, fresh air, or both into the inner space. It is typically found in buildings with high ceilings or roofs, such as churches, museums, or large commercial spaces. The purpose of a clerestory is to provide natural light and ventilation to the interior, while also maintaining privacy and security. Unlike skylights or dormers, which are located on the roof, a clerestory window is positioned higher up on the wall, allowing for a greater amount of light to enter the space.

    What type of window gives you protection from rain in the absence of canopy?

    • Casement

    • Awning

    • Fixed

    • Sliding

    Correct Answer
    A. Awning
    Explanation
    An awning window provides protection from rain in the absence of a canopy because it is designed to open outward from the bottom, allowing the top to remain covered. This design creates a slight slope, which helps to deflect rainwater away from the window and prevent it from entering the interior of the building. The awning window is a popular choice for areas with frequent rainfall as it allows for ventilation while still providing protection from the elements.

    A vertical window set below the line of a sloped roof?

    • Valley window

    • Dormer window

    • Skylight

    • Clerestory

    Correct Answer
    A. Dormer window
    Explanation
    A dormer window is a vertical window that is set below the line of a sloped roof. It is typically protruding from the roof and provides additional light and ventilation to the attic or upper level of a building.

    What type of window is not recommended to be used in  an area where the opening of the window is in hallway?

    • Sliding

    • Casement

    • Picture

    • Louver

    Correct Answer
    A. Casement
    Explanation
    Casement windows are not recommended to be used in an area where the opening of the window is in a hallway. This is because casement windows open outwards, requiring space for the window to swing open. In a hallway, where space is limited, a casement window would obstruct the pathway and potentially cause inconvenience or safety hazards. Therefore, other types of windows such as sliding, picture, or louver windows would be more suitable for this situation.

    • Invisible

    • Piano

    • Flushed hinge

    • Butt hinge

    Correct Answer
    A. Invisible
    Explanation
    If an architect wants to hide the door with the wall panels, they should specify an "invisible" door hinge. This type of hinge is designed to be concealed within the door and frame, making it virtually invisible when the door is closed. By using invisible hinges, the architect can achieve a seamless and hidden appearance for the door, allowing it to blend in with the surrounding wall panels.

    Where do you place a door stopper to prevent the door from hitting the wall?

    • Floor

    • Wall

    • Baseboard

    • Astragal

    Correct Answer
    A. Floor
    Explanation
    To prevent the door from hitting the wall, a door stopper should be placed on the floor. By positioning the stopper on the floor, it acts as a barrier that prevents the door from swinging too far and hitting the wall. This helps to protect both the door and the wall from damage that could occur if they were to collide. Placing the door stopper on the floor is a practical and effective solution to avoid any potential impact between the door and the wall.

    • Key

    • Rose

    • Strike plate

    • Trim

    Correct Answer
    A. Key
    Explanation
    A key is not part of a door knob because it is a separate component used to lock or unlock the door. A door knob typically consists of a rose (the decorative plate that attaches to the door), a strike plate (the metal plate on the door frame that the latch or bolt engages with), and trim (the decorative cover or plate that surrounds the knob). The key, on the other hand, is inserted into the lock cylinder, which is a separate mechanism from the door knob itself.

    • Sliding

    • Casement

    Correct Answer
    A. Awning
    Explanation
    Awning windows are commonly used in condominiums because they provide both safety and waterproofing. These windows are hinged at the top and open outward, allowing for ventilation while still providing protection from rain. The design of awning windows also makes it difficult for intruders to enter the property, enhancing the safety aspect. Additionally, the outward opening of awning windows prevents water from entering the condo during heavy rain, making them a suitable choice for waterproofing purposes.

    For high rise building, what type of window is the least effective?

    • Awning

    • Sliding

    • Swing

    • Hopper

    Correct Answer
    A. Hopper
    Explanation
    Hopper windows are the least effective type of window for high-rise buildings. Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and open inward, which can be problematic in high-rise buildings due to the strong wind forces at higher elevations. The inward opening of hopper windows can create a suction effect, making it difficult to close them properly and potentially causing air leakage. Additionally, hopper windows have a limited opening angle, limiting the amount of ventilation they can provide compared to other window types like awning or sliding windows.

    • It is the pharaohs tomb not a temple

    • Underlayment of bricks are too thick, light can not penetrate

    Correct Answer
    A. It is the pharaohs tomb not a temple
    Explanation
    The Egyptian pyramids don't have doors and windows because they were built as tombs for the pharaohs, not as temples or living spaces. The focus was on providing a secure and enclosed space for the pharaoh's burial and afterlife, rather than on allowing light or ventilation into the structure. Additionally, the thick underlayment of bricks and the strong and fine sandstorms in the desert would make it impractical to have small openings that could potentially compromise the integrity of the structure.

It helps to extend the lifespan of the wood by preventing moisture from seeping in and causing damage. By applying solignum to the door and window jambs, it creates a protective barrier that helps to maintain their structural integrity and overall appearance. This makes solignum a suitable choice for preserving door and window jambs.
