What is the primary goal of energy management?

  1. To reduce energy consumption

  2. To increase energy production

  3. To improve energy efficiency

  4. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy management aims to minimize energy consumption while maintaining or improving the level of service.

Which of the following is not a common energy management strategy?

  1. Energy audits

  2. Energy-efficient lighting

  3. Demand response programs

  4. Energy deregulation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy deregulation is not a common energy management strategy. It refers to the restructuring of the electricity industry, separating generation, transmission, and distribution.

What is the purpose of an energy audit?

  1. To identify energy-saving opportunities

  2. To measure energy consumption

  3. To evaluate energy efficiency

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An energy audit involves measuring energy consumption, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and evaluating energy efficiency.

Which of the following is not an energy-efficient lighting technology?

  1. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs)

  2. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

  3. Incandescent bulbs

  4. High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs are not energy-efficient lighting technology as they consume more energy and produce less light compared to other options.

What is the term used to describe the reduction in energy consumption achieved through energy efficiency measures?

  1. Energy savings

  2. Energy conservation

  3. Energy efficiency

  4. Energy reduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy savings refer to the reduction in energy consumption resulting from the implementation of energy efficiency measures.

Which of the following is not a benefit of energy efficiency?

  1. Reduced energy costs

  2. Increased energy production

  3. Improved air quality

  4. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Increased energy production is not a benefit of energy efficiency. Energy efficiency focuses on reducing consumption rather than increasing production.

What is the primary objective of energy conservation?

  1. To reduce energy consumption

  2. To increase energy production

  3. To improve energy efficiency

  4. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy conservation aims to reduce energy consumption through behavioral changes and the use of energy-efficient technologies.

Which of the following is not a common energy conservation strategy?

  1. Turning off lights when not in use

  2. Unplugging electronic devices when not in use

  3. Using energy-efficient appliances

  4. Driving less and walking or biking more


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Driving less and walking or biking more is not a common energy conservation strategy. It is a transportation strategy that aims to reduce vehicle emissions and promote physical activity.

What is the term used to describe the practice of using energy more efficiently?

  1. Energy management

  2. Energy conservation

  3. Energy efficiency

  4. Energy reduction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Energy efficiency refers to the practice of using energy more efficiently, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved performance.

Which of the following is not an example of an energy-efficient appliance?

  1. Energy Star-rated refrigerator

  2. Incandescent light bulb

  3. Energy Star-rated washing machine

  4. Energy Star-rated dishwasher


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Incandescent light bulbs are not energy-efficient appliances as they consume more energy and produce less light compared to other options.

What is the term used to describe the amount of energy consumed by a device or system per unit of time?

  1. Power

  2. Energy

  3. Efficiency

  4. Consumption


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Power is the term used to describe the amount of energy consumed by a device or system per unit of time.

Which of the following is not a common energy efficiency metric?

  1. Energy intensity

  2. Energy factor

  3. Power factor

  4. Return on investment (ROI)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Power factor is not a common energy efficiency metric. It is a measure of the efficiency of electrical power transmission.

What is the term used to describe the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input?

  1. Energy efficiency

  2. Energy conservation

  3. Energy management

  4. Energy reduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy efficiency is the term used to describe the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input.

Which of the following is not a common energy efficiency program?

  1. Energy Star program

  2. LEED certification program

  3. Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)

  4. Demand response program


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is not a common energy efficiency program. It is a policy that requires utilities to generate a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable energy sources.

What is the term used to describe the practice of using energy more efficiently and reducing energy consumption?

  1. Energy management

  2. Energy conservation

  3. Energy efficiency

  4. Energy reduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy management is the term used to describe the practice of using energy more efficiently and reducing energy consumption.
