1
According to the Department of Energy's building retrofit analysis tools (circa 2025), which factor typically represents the largest source of uncertainty in predicting annual energy savings from a deep energy retrofit in a cold climate?
Question 1
2
In industrial energy management, implementing a 'Systems Optimization' approach, as opposed to focusing on individual components, is primarily justified by which principle?
Question 2
3
A residential heat pump water heater (HPWH) operating in a 70°F basement has a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 3.5. If it is moved to an unheated garage where the ambient air temperature averages 45°F, what is the most likely impact on its performance and annual energy use, assuming the same hot water demand?
Question 3
4
The 'RMI's 'Factor 10' engineering concept for transformative building efficiency refers to achieving a reduction in energy use intensity (EUI) by what order of magnitude compared to a conventional baseline?
Question 4
5
In the context of utility demand-side management (DSM), a 'non-wires alternative' (NWA) is best described as:
Question 5
6
When performing a life-cycle assessment (LCA) to compare the embodied and operational energy of two building facade systems, which metric is most critical for a true conservation comparison over a 60-year building lifespan?
Question 6
7
The 'energy efficiency gap' or 'energy paradox' in economics primarily refers to the observed phenomenon where:
Question 7
8
For a large commercial building aiming for net-zero energy operation, which strategy is considered a 'load elimination' measure rather than a 'load reduction' or 'efficiency' measure?
Question 8
9
In industrial compressed air systems, what is the approximate typical percentage of electrical energy input that is converted into usable energy at the point of use (e.g., in a pneumatic tool)?
Question 9
