Question 1

Which of the following best describes the 'house as a system' concept central to BPI Building Science Principles?

Each component of a home (HVAC, envelope, occupants) operates independently and can be evaluated in isolation The home's envelope, mechanical systems, occupants, and site all interact, so changes to one affect the others All homes use the same combination of insulation, HVAC, and ventilation regardless of climate A home is considered a 'system' only after a blower door test confirms it is airtight

A homeowner adds attic insulation but does not air seal first. Which house-as-a-system consequence is MOST likely?

Correct Answer:

Air leakage continues, moisture is carried into the new insulation, and effective R-value drops
