Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Difficulty in integrating with existing renewable energy systems

Limited lifespan and capacity degradation over time

High operational costs due to energy losses during charging

High environmental impact from mining and production of lithium

Question 2: What is the primary benefit of using permeable pavement in urban design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the urban heat island effect

It allows water to infiltrate, reducing stormwater runoff

It improves soil fertility and supports plant growth

It increases surface runoff, reducing flood risks

Question 3: How do advanced building technologies, such as smart grids, contribute to sustainability goals in urban environments?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They minimize the need for renewable energy generation

They optimize energy usage by monitoring real-time consumption and distributing power more efficiently

They increase energy storage capacities for emergency backup

They reduce the energy needs of electric vehicles on the grid

Question 4: How does the adoption of smart buildings with integrated sensors and automation systems contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Smart buildings only benefit large commercial sectors and are not relevant to residential buildings

Smart buildings increase energy consumption and have no significant impact on sustainability

Smart buildings focus solely on energy production and have minimal impact on operational efficiency

Smart buildings optimize energy use, reduce waste, and improve occupant comfort by adjusting systems based on real-time data

Question 5: Which of the following materials is most commonly used in green building certification systems to ensure sustainability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Recycled steel and low-emissivity glass

Concrete with high embodied energy and non-renewable resources

Non-environmentally friendly chemical adhesives

Non-recycled plastic and untreated timber

Question 6: How do passive house standards improve energy efficiency in building design, and what are the key principles behind this approach?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Passive house standards focus only on reducing building costs and do not impact energy performance

Passive house standards are only applicable in cold climates and are irrelevant for temperate regions

Passive house standards emphasize airtightness, insulation, and energy recovery ventilation to minimize heating and cooling needs

Passive house standards prioritize aesthetic design over energy efficiency
