AIR BARRIER PAPER

Air Barriers control the unintended movement of air into and out of a building enclosure.

ATTIC VENTILATION

ROOF TURBINE

GABLE VENT

SOFFIT VENTDuring warmer months, ventilation helps keep attics cool. It helps prevent hot, moist summer air from warping the roof sheathing. It also stops shingles from deteriorating prematurely. What's more, fresh air in the attic makes a home much easier to cool, which can result in lower energy costs.

RIDGE VENT

ATTIC VENTILATION…..

BACKHOEBackhoe: is a piece of excavating equipment consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. They are typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader.

BATTER BOARDS

BATTER BOARDS: are suitable marks placed for use as references or guides during the initial excavation  and  rough  grading  of  a  building construction  and/or  a  sewer  line  stakeout.  They are more or less temporary devices that support the  stretched  cords  that  mark  the  outline  and grade  of  the  structure.

BRICK ARCHES

CENTERINGCentering: is the structure upon which the stones of arches or vault are laid during construction.

BRICK BONDS

COMMON / AMERICAN

RUNNING BOND

Bricks laid so only stretchers are seen.

A pattern made like Running Bond, but with a row of headers replacing every few courses. Usually an odd #. In this case 5.

Wood Shingles: Sawn shingles that are of uniform thickness.

CONCRETE JOINTS

CONTROL JOINTS

A control joint is a groove cut into the surface of the concrete that allows some cracking to occur in the joint and not be readily visible.

Crack in concrete

Isolation/Expansion Joints: Isolation joints are used to relieve flexural stresses due to vertical movement of slab-on-grade applications that adjoin fixed foundation elements such as columns, building or

machinery foundations, etc.

CONCRETE MASONRYUNIT (CMU)

8x8x16 Split PierConcrete block, when reinforced with concrete columns and tie beams, is a very common building material for the load-bearing walls of buildings, in what is termed concrete block structure (CBS) construction.

ELECTRIC BOX

a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors — the transformer's coils or "windings".

METER

a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to or produced by a residence, business or machine.

FRONT END LOADERFront End Loader: An engineering vehicle, often used in construction, that is primarily used to load material: asphalt, demolition debris, dirt, feed, gravel, logs, raw minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, wood chips, etc. into or onto another type of machinery, dump truck, conveyor belt, rail-car, etc.).

GYPSUM BOARDGypsum Board (Drywall): is a common building material typically made of a layer of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. Drywall is used globally for the finish construction of interior walls and ceilings.

HEAT PUMP

The compressor/evaporator controls the temperature and force of the air that goes through the vents.

Adv: Rapid response time, ability to filter air and control humidity, both heats and cools

Dis. Adv: Relatively noisy, ducts are bulky, difficult to zone.

INSULATIONThe majority of insulation in buildings is for thermal purposes, It is also used as acoustic insulation or sound proofing, and as a fire retarder.

LINTEL

LINTEL

A lintel is a horizontal member supported by two vertical posts at either end. This form is commonly used to support the weight of the structure located above the openings in a bearing wall created by windows and doors.

PLYWOODPlywood: is a type of engineered board made from thin sheets of wood, called plies or wood veneers. The layers are glued together, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength. Veneer: thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch), that are typically glued onto core panels (typically, wood, particle board or medium density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture.

REBAR½” #4

The deformations on rebar are used to help adhere to concrete by having more surface are and cracks for it to hold on to.

STEEP ROOF DRAINAGE

Gutter: A narrow channel which collects rainwater from the roof of a building and diverts it away from the structure, typically into a drain.

Downspout: Water collected by a rain gutter is fed via the downspout, from the roof edge to the base of the building where it is either discharged or collected. Splash Block: A splash block placed beneath the downspout elbow helps to disperse water away from the foundation.

Wood Shingles

Roof shingles: are a roof covering consisting of individual overlapping elements. These elements are normally flat rectangular shapes that are laid in rows without the side edges overlapping, a single layer is used to ensure a water-resistant result

STEEP ROOF TERMSEaves usually project beyond the side of the building generally to provide weather protection.

edge of the roof

Ridge the top point where the roof connects.
