Green Engineering

What is renewable energy?

• Renewable energy is energy derived from natural resources that replenish themselves over time.

• Renewable energy is energy derived from non-renewable sources.

• Renewable energy is energy that is harmful to wildlife.

• Renewable energy is energy that depletes the environment.

How can sustainable design help the environment?

• Sustainable design reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimizes negative impacts on ecosystems and human health.

• Sustainable design depletes natural resources

• Sustainable design increases pollution and waste

• Sustainable design has no positive impact on the environment

Why is waste management important in green engineering?

• Waste management minimizes environmental impact and promotes sustainability.

• Waste management increases pollution in green engineering.

• Waste management is only important for aesthetic purposes.

• Waste management has no impact on green engineering.

What are some ways to improve energy efficiency?

• Leaving lights on all day

• Using outdated appliances

• Using energy-efficient appliances, improving insulation, utilizing natural light, turning off lights and electronics when not in use, and optimizing heating and cooling systems.

• Keeping windows open during extreme weather

Why is water conservation crucial in green engineering?

• Water conservation is essential in green engineering to reduce water usage, promote sustainability, and minimize environmental impact.

• Water conservation does not help minimize environmental impact in green engineering

• Water conservation has no impact on sustainability in green engineering

• Water conservation is not important in green engineering

What are the key principles of green building?

• Energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable materials, waste reduction, healthy indoor environment

• Non-renewable energy sources, toxic materials, excessive waste, poor ventilation, inefficient heating

• Single-use plastics, deforestation, overfishing, chemical pesticides, industrial runoff

• Noise pollution, air pollution, light pollution, soil erosion, water pollution

Which energy source is considered renewable?

• Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy

• Coal, oil, natural gas

• Nuclear energy

• Biomass

How can sustainable design reduce carbon footprint?

• By ignoring environmental regulations

• By focusing on energy efficiency, eco-friendly materials, and resource optimization.

• By increasing water consumption

• By using more plastic materials

What are the benefits of proper waste management?

• Ignoring pollution, exploiting resources, encouraging diseases, worsening living conditions

• Encouraging pollution, wasting resources, causing diseases, deteriorating living conditions

• Reducing pollution, conserving resources, preventing diseases, promoting healthier living environment

• Increasing pollution, depleting resources, spreading diseases, creating a toxic living environment
