PRE POST TEST OF GREEN BUILDING

How does a green building differ from a conventional building?

• Use maximum energy, water and material

• Designed to minimize environmental impact

• Energy and water consumption efficiency

• Improving indoor air quality and reducing waste.

What is the primary goal of a green building?

• To increase the use of conventional energy sources

• To reduce environmental impact and improve resource efficiency

• To maximize the use of non-renewable materials

• To increase the cost of construction

Which of the following is NOT a key component of green building?

• Energy efficiency

• Water conservation

• High carbon emissions

• Indoor air quality

What is the purpose of Building Energy Index (BEI) in green buildings?

• To measure indoor air pollution

• To calculate the amount of electricity consumed per square meter annually

• To determine the total construction cost

• To analyze the durability of construction materials

What is one key advantage of using bamboo in green buildings?

• It absorbs more CO₂ and produces more O₂ than regular wood

• It is heavier and more durable than concrete

• It requires high energy consumption for processing

• It does not contribute to indoor air quality

Which of the following strategies helps improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)?

• Giving occupants temperature and ventilation control

• Installing operable windows

• All of the above

What is the purpose of MyCREST in Malaysia?

• To encourage high-rise construction

• To evaluate and reduce carbon emissions in buildings
