2.1.1 Wood Frame Systems Project
Conclusion Questions
1. List, describe, and explain the purpose of two components of a residential building that you are familiar with, such as your home. A rafter is used to support the roof to hold the structure. A vapor barrier lets water vapor out and keeps water from entering. 2. Which part of wood frame construction do you think will change the most in the near future? Explain the change and why you believe it will occur soon. Insulation would change in the near future since people would develop more efficient materials. |
2.1.2 Roof Systems Project
Conclusion Questions
1. What is the most common roof type where you live? Do different areas or neighborhoods have different styles? List two of the styles and describe why you think they are predominant.
