Air Barrier Paper
Commonly called “Home wrap,” the Air Barrier Paper is applied directly
onto sheathing to prevent air and water vapor from penetrating into
sheathing.
Attic Ventilation
Attic vents prevent water vapor from being trapped in the attic space and also allows hot air to escape during the summer to
help manage temperatures inside the structure.
Although there are various types of Attic Vents, they all serve the same basic purpose.

BackhoeA backhoe is a piece of excavating
equipment consisting of a digging bucket at the end of a
two part articulated arm.
Backhoes are widely used as an earthmover and is a very useful piece of excavation equipment on job sites.
23” Bucket
Batter Boards
A temporary frame built just outside the corner of an
excavation to carry marks that lie on the surface planes of the basement that will be built in
the excavation.
Batter boards are used to establish the position, shape, and size of the building on the site.

Centering -Centering is temporary framework to
shape an arch, dome, or vault.
Brick Bonds
Running BondFlemish Bond
The Flemish bond is created by alternating layers of headers and stretchers. The next
course is laid so that the header lies in the middle of the stretcher course
bellow it.
A running bond is created by butting bricks end to
end with the joints falling in the middle of brick on
the row below.

Code Requirements
Tread = 11”
Riser = 7”
International Building Code states that treads should be no narrower that 11” and that risers should be no more than 7 ¾” tall.
These stairs meet code requirements.
Code Requirements
This window sill is set 24” off of
the finished grade and has
an opening width of 35”.
Code states that a window should be no less that 24” off of finished grade and no less that 34 ¼” wide.
This window meets code requirements.
Concrete Joints
A control joint is an intentional cut into concrete that prevents cracking in the concrete due to the expansion of the concrete itself.
Isolation joints relieve flexural stress due to vertical movement of slab on grade that adjoins foundation elements. In the picture the sidewalk is being isolated from the foundation.

Front End LoaderA Front End Loader is an
engineering vehicle that is primarily used to load
material onto or into other machinery.
A front end loader differs from bulldozers and back hoes by primarily lifting
and loading material onto other equipment.
Gypsum Board
Gypsum board is a common building
material composed of plaster gypsum pressed between thick sheets of
paper and kiln dried.
Heat Pump
Air- Handling Unit
CompressorAir handling unit is a device used to condition and circulate air as part of an HVAC system. They connect to the duct work and distribute air.
A compressor for a heat pump system pulls air from outside and runs it through
refrigerant lines to either cool or heat it.
Advantages - Heat pump systems have a rapid response time.Disadvantages - It is difficult to “zone” and may need some help in extreme cold.
Insulation
Blanket/Batt Insulation Loose Fill
FoamedRigid Board
Insulation is material with low thermal
conductivity that is included in a
building envelope to reduce heat flow
through an assembly
Lintel
Angle Steel Lintel
A angel steel lintel is a bent piece of steel
that carries the load of a wall over a window or door
opening.
Helps masonry span window and door
gaps.
Mortar
Raked JointFound on the Lowder Business
Building on Auburn’s campus. It is a 3/8” thick tooled joint most likely using
Type S mortar due to the expanse of the building.
Concave JointFound on the Student Center on Auburn’s campus. It is a tooled joint and also most
likely uses Type S mortar. The joint is approximately 3/8” thick
Both joints are on large commercial style buildings.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a manufactured building panel (non-veneered) composed of long strands of wood fibers oriented in specific directions and
bonded together under pressure.
Plumbing
LavatoryA lavatory generally uses a
1 ½” drainage pipe.
Water ClosetWater Closets use a 3” drainage
pipe.
Plumbing Cont’d
Manufactured Tub
This vent is a Vent Through the Roof
(VTR) and it prevents sewer gases from
backing up into the house
Vent Through Roof
Drop-In Sink
Plywood
Plywood is a wood panel composed of an odd number of layers of wood veneer bonded together under pressure.
Veneer – A thin covering over another surface for a more aesthetically pleasing facing
Radiant Barrier
A Radiant Barrier prevents the transfer of heat through a material. It usually look like aluminum foil as it does here except it has a bad
glare.
Here it is installed on ductwork to keep heat from heating up the air traveling through the duct work.
Rebar
This is #3 rebar which is 3/8” thick in cross section. This is
grade 40.
The deformations are rolled into the
surface of a reinforcing bar to
help it bond tightly to the concrete.
Steep Roof Drainage
Gutter A gutter is a channel that
collects rainwater and snow melt at the eave of
a roof.
DownspoutA downspout is a
vertical pipe used for conducting water
from a roof to a lower level.
Splash BlockA splash block is a
small precast block or plastic used to divert water at the bottom
of a downspout. Also helps prevent
erosion.
Steep Roof Materials
UnderlaymentUnderlayment is a
layer of waterproof material such as
building felt between roof sheathing and
roofing.
Clay Tile Roof
Wood Shingle Roof
Shingle – a shingle is a small unit of water-resistant material nailed in overlapping fashion with many other units to render wall or sloping roof water tight
Metal Panel Roof-Typically uses galvanized or
aluminized steel.

Vapor Retarder
Vapor Retarder is a layer of material intended to obstruct the passage of
water vapor through a building assembly.
It is placed on the warm in the winter side of a building. In most US
climates it would be on the inside of a house.
Vapor Retarder

Waterproofing is an impervious membrane applied to the outside
of a foundation. The waterproofing here is fully
adheared.

A weep hole is a whole in a brick cladding system that’s
purpose is to permit drainage of water that accumulates
inside a building component or assembly.
