4. Which is NOT the criteria for designing a mechanical ventilation system for a
general purpose commercial building
a. Optimization of energy conservation
b. Supply good enough fresh air quantity for the occupants with respect
to reckoned engineering standard
c. Optimize the best way of air distribution with good mixture
d. Take away excessive moisture at all time
5. Which is NOT the advantage of using carbon dioxide as tracer gas for
ventilation measurement
a. The concentration is relatively stable in ambient
b. The instruments used to measure carbon dioxide is relatively low cost
and accurate
c. Carbon dioxide is not toxic so that high dosage application in the tests
will not cause any adverse health effect.
d. The metabolic exhaust is a good indicator for use in quick
measurement
6. Which of the following parameters measured in the HKEPD objective for IAQ
does not require long term measurement
a. NO2
b. Air flow speed
c. Radon
d. Air borne bacteria count
7. Which is NOT the reason that energy conservation arouses the issues of IAQ
a. It takes energy to bring in thermally treated fresh air for the occupants.
Saving is made upon less fresh air supply.
b. Buildings are more air sealed and inhibit natural ventilation rate with
more fresh air exchange
c. Moisture is built up more in sealed environment with human activities
and favor mold growth
d. Comfortable thermal setting for the air conditioning system increases
the chance of condensation.

10. What is the suggested Radon exposure level for excellent environment stated
in the HKEPD IAQ objectives for offices and public places
a. 150Bq/m3
b. 100Bq/m3
c. 50Bq/m3
d. 10Bq/m3

Section 3. (Long questions) 10 Points@
b, Provided that the emanation rate of Radon in the lecture hall is 5 Bq/m2/hr
and the infiltration rate of Radon at the basement is 50Bq/hr. The ambient
Radon level is considered negligible. What would be the Radon level of the
lecture theatre at steady state during the day when the ventilation system is
turned on. (5 Points)

2. a, Please convert 1000ppm carbon dioxide into mass concentration under
standard room temperature of 25deg C. Provided that the molecular weight of
Carbon and Oxygen are 12 and 16 respectively. Avogardro’s number: 6.02

3. Please suggest all possible criteria for the best orientation to apply natural
ventilation in an apartment. Please answer with the aid of graphical illustration
and make sensible assumptions. (5 points)
