Glossary, also known as a vocabulary, or clavis, is an alphabetical list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end of a book and includes terms within that book that are either newly introduced, uncommon, or specialized.

A bilingual glossary is a list of terms in one language defined in a second language or glossed by synonyms (or at least near-synonyms) in another language.

In a general sense, a glossary contains explanations of concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action. In this sense, the term is related to the notion of ontology. Automatic methods have been also provided that transform a glossary into an ontology[1] or a computational lexicon.[2]

Due to the complexity of architecture, construction, and energy terminology, energy and energy conservation terminology, and this course of study, Unit #1 - Vocabulary is specifically placed at the front of this course. The student is expected to know how to use this tool to expand one’s Energy/Energy Conservation vocabulary
