Heat pump
An advantage is that you do not need seperateheating and cooling units. A disadvantage is that it only works in mild climates. The air handler circulates air through the house and moves the air over coils. The compressor pressurizes and circulates refridgerant gas to produce heat or cooling in the coils.

Concave
Oriented Strand Board
A type of sheathing similar to plywood. It is not veneered, and it is strands of wood that is bonded together by pressure in specific directions. Its typical dimensions are 4’ by 8’.
Plumbing
Water closet A lavatory is a sink and it typically uses 1.5” piping to drain it.
