Blueprint
There are five primary objectives for this unit. They address individual concepts and ideas as well as the relationships among the concepts.
Each
objective has a test item included so students can be tested on the
content. The test items can be used as pretests and/or posttests. Each
test item has criteria that should be used to evaluate the test item.
For example, when students are asked to write an essay, the criteria
for evaluating the student’s essay is included. The objectives,
corresponding tests and answer keys are listed below. Note, the tests
have been provided in Microsoft Word so that you can easily customize
the title, header format, etc. and to eliminate the web address reference
that usually shows up at the bottom of a web page printout. (Inquiring
student minds might otherwise find the answer key on this site.)
Given
a list of 15 concepts, each student will identify a corresponding example
or description. Students should correctly identify 12 of the concepts.

Without access to notes or books, each student will identify and
describe, in an essay, the three main building systems (building envelope,
HVAC, lighting) and how they work together in a building.

The blueprint
below shows the weighting of each of the five instructional objectives
in the unit. The middle column shows the how much each objective will
be weighted on the final test. The last column gives the number of instructional
days allotted for each objective. The number of instructional days equals
more than 12 because some objectives span multiple lessons. In addition
to the 12 instructional days, there will be one test day.
