Energy Policy Act of 1992

The deregulation of the electric utility industry commenced with the signing of the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT 92), which additionally set minimum efficacy standards for many PAR and R incandescent lamps, and prohibited the manufacture of certain types of fluorescent lamps. One such fluorescent lamp type that is no longer manufactured is the 40W F40T12 (CW and WW). Which of the following are available alternatives? Choose 4

A. F40T10 lamps
B. 40W and 34W triphosphor F40T12 lamps (69+ CRI)
C. 60W halophosphor F96T12 CW or WW
D. 95W halophosphor F96T12/HO CW or WW
E. F32T8 lamps (requiring a compatible ballast)
F. F96T8/HO lamps (requiring a compatible ballast)
G. 34W halophosphor F40T12/ES CW or WW lamps
H. 75W and 60W triphosphor F96T12 (69+ CRI)




Answers A, B, E, and G are correct.
All other choices are above 40 watts and therefore not an equivalent output or energy usage.

Cantilevered beam

The bending moment in a cantilevered beam is negative. Which of the following statements are true? A. the top fibers are in compression B. the bottom fibers are in compression C. rebar placement should be either at the top or the bottom D. gravity loads are not a factor for negative moment Answer B. the bottom fibers are in compression in a cantilevered beam, so top fibers are in tension which requires rebar placement at the top to resist tension.
