Question 1: In plumbing system design, how does the choice of pipe material affect the performance of the system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It impacts the water pressure, flow rates, and overall system durability

It determines the system's fire resistance and temperature tolerance

It only affects the aesthetic appearance of the plumbing

It does not have a significant impact on the system's overall performance

Question 2: What is the best practice when designing a stormwater drainage system to ensure proper flow and prevent flooding?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Installing underground water storage tanks

Increasing the number of catch basins

Ensuring adequate pipe sizing and sufficient slope

Using porous materials for all surfaces

Question 3: What is the key advantage of using a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system in HVAC design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It only requires one outdoor unit for the entire building

It uses a centralized cooling tower to save space

It is cheaper to install compared to traditional systems

It allows for multiple temperature zones in a building using a single system

Question 4: In HVAC design, what is the purpose of using thermal insulation on ducts?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To maintain duct integrity and prevent leaks

To reduce the need for air filters

To prevent heat loss and improve energy efficiency

To reduce the sound of airflow in ducts

Question 5: How does the integration of renewable energy systems, like solar panels, affect the design of MEP systems in a commercial building?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the building's reliance on grid power and optimizes energy consumption

It requires increasing the building's load capacity to handle energy storage

It increases the complexity of the HVAC system

It eliminates the need for conventional HVAC and plumbing systems

Question 6: What is the role of an air gap in plumbing design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To prevent contamination of potable water from wastewater

To ensure even water pressure throughout the plumbing system

To minimize pipe corrosion by introducing oxygen into the system

To increase water flow velocity for faster drainage
