How does climate change affect energy efficiency in buildings?

  1. Increased cooling demand

  2. Decreased heating demand

  3. Improved insulation

  4. Reduced energy consumption


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Climate change leads to warmer temperatures, which increases the demand for cooling in buildings, resulting in higher energy consumption.

Which sector is most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on energy efficiency?

  1. Residential

  2. Commercial

  3. Industrial

  4. Transportation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The residential sector is most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on energy efficiency due to the high energy demand for heating and cooling.

How does climate change affect the efficiency of renewable energy sources?

  1. Increased efficiency

  2. Decreased efficiency

  3. No impact

  4. Variable impact


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change can have a variable impact on the efficiency of renewable energy sources, depending on the specific technology and location.

What is the relationship between climate change and energy conservation?

  1. Climate change promotes energy conservation

  2. Climate change hinders energy conservation

  3. Climate change has no impact on energy conservation

  4. Climate change and energy conservation are independent


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Climate change often leads to increased energy demand, making it more challenging to conserve energy.

Which of the following is NOT a consequence of climate change on energy efficiency?

  1. Increased energy demand

  2. Reduced energy supply

  3. Improved energy infrastructure

  4. Higher energy costs


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to increased energy demand, reduced energy supply, and higher energy costs, but it does not directly improve energy infrastructure.
