  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Energy Star program is both a government program that sets energy efficiency standards for appliances and a voluntary program that helps consumers identify energy-efficient products.

What is the difference between energy efficiency and energy conservation?

  1. Energy efficiency is using less energy to perform the same task, while energy conservation is using less energy overall

  2. Energy efficiency is using less energy to perform the same task, while energy conservation is using more energy to perform the same task

  3. Energy efficiency is using more energy to perform the same task, while energy conservation is using less energy overall

  4. Energy efficiency is using more energy to perform the same task, while energy conservation is using more energy to perform a different task


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy efficiency is using less energy to perform the same task, while energy conservation is using less energy overall. Energy efficiency can be achieved by using more efficient appliances and lighting, while energy conservation can be achieved by reducing the amount of energy used for heating, cooling, and transportation.

What are some of the benefits of energy efficiency?

  1. Reduced energy costs

  2. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

  3. Improved air quality

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are benefits of energy efficiency. Energy efficiency can help to reduce energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve air quality.

What are some of the challenges of energy efficiency?

  1. High upfront costs

  2. Lack of awareness

  3. Lack of access to energy-efficient products

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are challenges of energy efficiency. High upfront costs, lack of awareness, and lack of access to energy-efficient products can all make it difficult to implement energy-efficient measures.

What is the future of energy efficiency?

  1. Energy efficiency will become increasingly important as the world's population grows and the demand for energy increases

  2. Energy efficiency will become less important as the world's population grows and the demand for energy increases

  3. Energy efficiency will become increasingly important as the world's population decreases and the demand for energy decreases

  4. Energy efficiency will become less important as the world's population decreases and the demand for energy decreases


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy efficiency will become increasingly important as the world's population grows and the demand for energy increases. As the world's population grows, the demand for energy will also grow. This will put a strain on the world's energy resources and lead to higher energy prices. Energy efficiency can help to reduce the demand for energy and make it more affordable.
