Tarea Monitoring - Matias Figueredo

1) Roland, a mechanical and electrical engineer, is discussing building design with an architect Saskia. Their client is a very environmentally focused company, so energy saving will be an important consideration. 2) Roland mentions using presence detectors to automatically control lighting and potentially other systems depending on occupancy. Presence detectors sense if an area is occupied. 3) Roland provides examples of sensors that could control elements like lighting, solar radiation, air flow, and temperature in the building. Sensors would detect occupancy and environmental conditions to optimize energy efficiency.

TAREA 5P.

a. Read the conversation and answer the following questions 1P.

Roland, a mechanical and electrical services (M&E) engineer, is talking to


Saskia, an architect, about the design of a new building. Read the conversation
A y answer the following questions

1- What is a key characteristic of the client company? It is a very green


environmentally orientated company

2- How will this characteristic affect the building design? Energy saving obviously
needs to be an important consideration in the design 3- What do you think is
meant by presence detectors?
I think they are talking about systems that monitors the detection zone for
occupancy. Example: if a person is sensed then the detector will automatically
turn the lighting on
4- What does Roland say about design options and how does he describe option one?
Option one is to have a building with maximum automation

b. Roland gives some examples of sensors and controls. Read the


interview and tick the point he mentions 1P.
1- Controlling the electric lighting inside the building … ……..

2- Controlling the amount the solar radiation entering the building ……… …….

3- Controlling the flowing in and out through the windows of the building …… …….

4- Controlling the flow of warm and cool air around the interior of the building …… …….

c. Match the words in the box to the synonyms (1-5) 1P.

detect – detector – pick up – reading – regulate – set off - trigger

1- Sensor /….. detector…….


2- Measurement / …… reading ………………………
3- Control (adjust) / ……regulate ……………………
4- Sense / ………detect ………….. / …pick up…. 5- Activate / …… set off ……
/ trigger.

d. Complete the following extracts from the conversation by


underlining the correct words 1P.

1- Not just the usual systems that activate/detect the lights….


2- We could use presence detectors to pick up/control other systems……
3- ….. a presence detector sets off/senses that everyone’s left a meeting room ….
4- .… a temperature sensor picks up a positive detector/reading
5- …. the sensor detects/regulates sunlight, and senses/triggers the blinds …..
6- …. those sensors set off/sense a circulation system ……
7- …. we would use presence detectors and heat sensors to detect/regulate as many
systems as possible?

e. Match the sensor or measuring system (1-5) to the industrial


applications(a-e) 1P.

1- pressure measurement …e… pipe a- monitoring the speed of water travelling along a supply

2- temperature measurement …b.. b- measuring the level of heat generated by an exothermic


reaction
3- flow measurement a.. c- monitoring the number of cans moving along a conveyor

4-level measurement …d.. d- monitoring the amount of ethanol contained in a storage


tank
5- c.. e- checking the force exerted by steam inside a vessel
process recorders …
f- Re escribe las oraciones completando con un modal verbs: can – can’t
- couldn’t - may or might – may not or might not - must – mustn’t
1- I go to Italy – I might go to Italy
2- I sleep last night- I coudn´t sleep last night
3- I have a big problem. You help me – I have a big Problem can you help me?
4- He see very well- He can’t see very well
5- I go out tonight – I must go out tonight
6- Can you open the door please?- Can you open the door please?
7- Ann phone this afternoon – Ann may pone this afternoon
8- I forget to phone George- I can’t forget to pone George
9- I go to France – I might not go to France
