LEDs are the most energy-efficient lighting technology available, using up to 85% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

What is the primary function of a thermostat in an energy-efficient building?

  1. To control the temperature of the building

  2. To regulate the flow of air in the building

  3. To monitor the energy consumption of the building

  4. To detect and prevent energy leaks in the building


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A thermostat is used to control the temperature of a building by turning on or off the heating or cooling system as needed.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient window?

  1. Single-pane window

  2. Double-pane window

  3. Triple-pane window

  4. Tinted window


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Triple-pane windows are the most energy-efficient type of window, as they have three layers of glass that help to insulate the building.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient appliance?

  1. To use less energy than conventional appliances

  2. To produce less waste than conventional appliances

  3. To last longer than conventional appliances

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional appliances


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient appliance is to use less energy than conventional appliances, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient heating system?

  1. Electric resistance heater

  2. Gas furnace

  3. Heat pump

  4. Wood-burning stove


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient type of heating system, as they can transfer heat from one place to another without generating heat themselves.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient cooling system?

  1. To use less energy than conventional cooling systems

  2. To produce less waste than conventional cooling systems

  3. To last longer than conventional cooling systems

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional cooling systems


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient cooling system is to use less energy than conventional cooling systems, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient transportation technology?

  1. Gasoline-powered car

  2. Diesel-powered car

  3. Hybrid car

  4. Electric car


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Electric cars are the most energy-efficient type of transportation technology, as they do not produce any emissions and use less energy than gasoline or diesel-powered cars.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient industrial process?

  1. To use less energy than conventional industrial processes

  2. To produce less waste than conventional industrial processes

  3. To last longer than conventional industrial processes

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional industrial processes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient industrial process is to use less energy than conventional industrial processes, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient agricultural practice?

  1. Using conventional farming methods

  2. Using organic farming methods

  3. Using precision agriculture techniques

  4. Using irrigation techniques


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Precision agriculture techniques are the most energy-efficient agricultural practices, as they use technology to optimize the use of resources such as water and fertilizer.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient forestry practice?

  1. To use less energy than conventional forestry practices

  2. To produce less waste than conventional forestry practices

  3. To last longer than conventional forestry practices

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional forestry practices


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient forestry practice is to use less energy than conventional forestry practices, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient mining practice?

  1. Using conventional mining methods

  2. Using open-pit mining methods

  3. Using underground mining methods

  4. Using sustainable mining methods


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sustainable mining methods are the most energy-efficient mining practices, as they use technology to minimize the environmental impact of mining.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient construction practice?

  1. To use less energy than conventional construction practices

  2. To produce less waste than conventional construction practices

  3. To last longer than conventional construction practices

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional construction practices


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient construction practice is to use less energy than conventional construction practices, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient waste management practice?

  1. Landfilling waste

  2. Incinerating waste

  3. Recycling waste

  4. Composting waste


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Recycling waste is the most energy-efficient waste management practice, as it reduces the need to extract and process raw materials.

What is the primary function of an energy-efficient water treatment practice?

  1. To use less energy than conventional water treatment practices

  2. To produce less waste than conventional water treatment practices

  3. To last longer than conventional water treatment practices

  4. To be more convenient to use than conventional water treatment practices


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of an energy-efficient water treatment practice is to use less energy than conventional water treatment practices, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.

Which of the following is an example of an energy-efficient energy storage technology?

  1. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity

  2. Battery storage

  3. Flywheel energy storage

  4. Compressed air energy storage


Correct Option: A
