Q: 1. Class PB EIFS does not contain which of these?

1. insulation board
2. fluid applied membrane
3. reinforcing mesh
4. base and finish coat

Q: 2. What is the primary purpose of an evaluation report?

1. It verifies that a system is equivalent to the construction materials/methods of the code.
2. It verifies that a system or product has passed a performance test.
3. It verifies the durability of a system or product.
4. It verifies the structural and fire performance of a system or product.

Q: 3. What is a limitation of traditional EIFS?

1. They did not typically incorporate moisture protection materials behind the EIFS on the substrate.
2. They did not use a fastening device.
3. The heated up to dangerous temperatures.
4. They were subject to cracking like conventional stucco.

Q: 4. Which is not an important construction detail or design criteria for EIFS?

1. Control joints for expansion and contraction like stucco or masonry veneer.
2. Deflection from wind load.
3. Light reflection.
4. Joint design for drainage to the exterior.

Q: 5. Which is true of EIFS/the next generation?

1. It requires mechanical fasteners.
2. It limits wind load resistance.
3. It incorporates a moisture protection on the substrate.
4. It is used primarily below grade.

Q: 6. What percent of water intrusion problems occur within one percent of the building exterior?

1. 90%
2. 80%
3. 50%
4. 40%

Q: 7. Which is true of traditional EIFS?

1. It does not require adhesive or mechanical fasteners to attach it to the substrate.
2. It is polymer based.
3. It is difficult to install.
4. It is used primarily below grade.

Q: 8. What are the advantages of a fluid applied membrane?

1. It flutters in the wind to allow air into the system.
2. It accelerates thermal bridging.
3. Its seams are lapped to prevent moisture penetration.
4. It is bonded to the substrate to prevent tears.

Q: 9. Which performance criteria is required for EIFS/the next generation?

1. The wall must be waterproof before the EIFS wall covering is put in place.
2. The wall must be resistant to air infiltration before the the EIFS wall covering is put in place.
3. The fluid applied membrane must be resistant to the affects of UV aging.
4. All of the above.

Q: 10. The specification for minimum drainage efficiency of EIFS/the next generation is which?

1. 60%
2. 70%
3. 90%
4. 100%
