• To conduct electricity

According to the general rule, what happens when a material's thermal conductivity is lower?

• Its ability to insulate decreases

• Its electrical resistance increases

• Its ability to insulate increases

• Its density increases

Which of the following terms are associated with thermal insulation?

• H-value, I-value, and J-value

• K-value, U-value, and R-value

• M-value, N-value, and O-value

• P-value, Q-value, and S-value

What do U-values, K-values, and R-values measure in building materials?

• Electrical conductivity

• Heat transfer or thermal resistance

• Acoustic insulation

• Moisture permeability

Why are U-values, K-values, and R-values important in the design of buildings?

• They determine the color and texture of the building materials.

• They are used to calculate the structural strength of the building.

• They are parameters used in the design of passive houses for energy efficiency.

• They help in determining the cost of the building materials.

What is the effect of lower U-values in building materials?

• Higher heat loss

• Less heat loss

• No change in heat loss

• Increased moisture inside the building

What is indicated by higher U-values in building materials?

• More insulation

• Less insulation and more heat loss

• Better acoustic insulation

• Lower energy costs

What does a U-value represent in building construction?

• The cost of construction materials

• The measure of heat loss in a building element

• The aesthetic value of a building

• The strength of the building foundation
