Total questions: 34
Worksheet time: 11mins
What must the organisation determine regarding energy performance and the energy management system?
Only the total energy consumption
Only compliance with legal requirements
What needs to be measured, monitored, analysed, and evaluated
Only corrective actions taken
Which of the following must be included when defining what requires monitoring and measurement?
Employee satisfaction
Action plans’ effectiveness in attaining objectives and energy targets
Financial profitability
Supplier performance
Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs) are used primarily to:
Measure employee competence
Track legal compliance
Evaluate and monitor energy performance
Control document records
Monitoring of significant energy uses focuses mainly on:
Administrative activities
Office communication systems
Processes and operations with major energy impact
Training effectiveness
Why is actual versus expected energy consumption compared?
To determine employee efficiency
To assess deviations in energy performance
To calculate audit costs
To meet customer requirements
The organisation shall define monitoring and measurement methods to ensure:
Low cost of measurement
Valid and reliable outcomes
Faster audits
Simplified reporting
What must be done with the results of monitoring and measurement activities?
Archived without review
Shared only with auditors
Analysed and evaluated
Used only during management review
Improvement in energy performance is assessed by comparing:
Audit results year to year
Energy costs with market prices
Energy performance indicator values with the energy baseline
Training records with objectives
When considerable deviations in energy performance are identified, the organisation shall:
Ignore them if costs are low
Only report them in audits
Investigate and respond to them
Revise the energy policy immediately
What documented information must be retained related to energy performance deviations?
Only corrective action plans
Results of investigations and responses
Employee interviews
Supplier contracts
Documented information from monitoring and measurement shall be kept to:
Satisfy customer expectations
Demonstrate energy performance and system effectiveness
Replace internal audits
Reduce reporting effort
How often must compliance with legal and other requirements be evaluated?
Only during certification audits
At planned intervals
Only after incidents
Once during system implementation
Compliance evaluation must relate to:
Financial performance
Energy efficiency, energy use, energy consumption, and the EnMS
Marketing strategy
Human resource policies
What documented information must be retained after compliance evaluation?
Audit checklists only
Management review minutes
Results of the evaluation and actions taken
Energy baseline calculations
Why are internal audits important in energy management?
To replace management review
To ensure the EnMS is implemented, effective, and continually improved
To reduce energy costs immediately
To meet customer requirements
An internal audit programme must define which of the following?
Supplier evaluation methods
Audit schedule, scope, and objectives
Energy baselines
Training plans
Who should conduct internal audits?
Any available employee
External consultants only
Competent, objective, and independent auditors
Top management only
Why must auditors be independent of the area being audited?
To reduce audit time
To ensure objectivity and impartiality
To simplify reporting
To avoid documentation
Which activities are typically audited more frequently?
Document control
Processes with low energy impact
Processes affecting significant energy use
Areas unchanged since last audit
Internal audits may be conducted less frequently for:
Significant energy uses
Areas with frequent changes
Processes unlikely to affect energy performance
New operational controls
Which of the following is a valid method of collecting audit evidence?
Guessing based on experience
Reviewing documents and records
Only employee surveys
Financial analysis only
Observations during an audit may include:
Reviewing contracts
Watching live activities and work environments
Analysing budgets
Reviewing strategic plans
Interviews during audits can be conducted with:
Only top management
Only auditors
Employees, contractors, and management
External regulators only
Internal audits provide information on whether the EnMS:
Reduces costs immediately
Improves energy performance and meets requirements
Eliminates all nonconformities
Replaces monitoring and measurement
The organisation shall keep documented information on:
Training attendance only
Audit programme and audit results
Energy invoices
Marketing materials
Who is responsible for conducting management reviews?
Internal auditors
Energy team
Top management
External consultants
Management reviews are conducted to ensure the EnMS remains:
Profitable
Certified
Suitable, adequate, effective, and aligned with strategic direction
Simplified
Which of the following must be considered during management review?
