Gebäudehüllen-Meister/in HFP cheat sheet

Gebäudehüllen-Meister/in HFP · Keep the key ideas within reach.

Quick reference

Roof assemblies, drainage and maintainable interfaces

  • Trace the actual structural, thermal, air, vapor and water functions.

  • Detail penetrations, outlets, edges and interfaces as part of the system.

  • Material chemistry alone does not specify a safe joining procedure.

  • Inspection, maintenance access and actual loads belong in the design.

Quick reference

Facade performance, solar integration and safe coordination

  • Distinguish cladding, cavity, inner weather layer and supporting structure.

  • Design fixings and movement accommodation for the actual panel and loads.

  • BIPV combines enclosure and electrical functions with coordinated interfaces.

  • An open downstream switch does not make every sunlit PV component safe.

Quick reference

Building systems, load paths, heat and moisture

  • R=d/λ uses thickness in metres; total resistance includes the model’s surfaces and layers.

  • U=1/R_total is a steady-state element model, not the complete building energy demand.

  • Permanent, occupancy, wind and snow actions require the stated design framework.

  • Moisture, airtightness and intended ventilation must be considered together.

  • Example tie spacing is supplied data, not a code rule.

Quick reference

Finance and accounting

  • Profit and cash differ because of credit, stock and capital spending.

  • Break-even = fixed costs ÷ unit contribution; contribution funds fixed costs and profit.

  • Gearing formulas vary; use the debt and capital definitions supplied in the exercise.

  • Payback ignores later cash flows; NPV discounts all cash flows.

  • Liquidity ratios need interpretation, not just calculation.

Quick reference

Operations management

  • Capacity utilisation = actual output ÷ maximum output × 100.

  • Break-even = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit; margin of safety = current sales − break-even.

  • JIT cuts holding costs but raises supply-chain vulnerability.

  • TQM is preventive and company-wide; quality control is inspection-based.

  • Critical path is the longest route through the network and sets project duration.

Quick reference

Construction planning, safe boundaries, inspections and controlled changes

  • Clarify actual responsibility, approved drawings and change authority.

  • Hazards require task-specific controls, not one universal PPE recipe.

  • Inspect concealed requirements before they become inaccessible.

  • Separate net quantities, stated allowances and unresolved handover issues.
