For a building located in Baltimore, Maryland with annual heating degree-days (dd) of 4654 and a heating load (heat loss) of 30,000 Btu/h and a design temperature difference of 52°F (68°F indoor and 16°F outdoor), estimate the annual energy consumption. If the building is heated with a furnace with an efficiency of 92%, how much gas is burned to keep the home at 68°F. State your assumptions.

What will be an ideal response?

The measurements in the table shown in Figure P12–6 were surveyed on a grid for a borrow pit. The first column in the table represents the grid location. “Existing Elevation” is the elevation before excavation, and “Finish Elevation” is the elevation after excavation. The grid spacing is 20?. Grid lines A–F run north and south. Draw the borrow pit grid to scale on an ANSI B size

sheet. Label the grid values and label the cut depths at each grid intersection. Calculate the total amount of excavated material in cubic yards and place the value on the drawing. What will be an ideal response?
