Energy Efficiency in Event Planning

Which of the following best describes the primary goal of an energy audit for an event venue?

• To calculate the total utility bill for the month

• To identify energy-consuming equipment and suggest design changes

• To evaluate building aesthetics and functionality

• To reduce the number of attendees to save energy

What is a key feature of a “Green Design” approach in event planning?

• Using single-use plastics to reduce washing costs

• Focusing purely on visual aesthetics of the venue

• Designing for reuse and recycling of event materials

• Minimizing the duration of the event

In the context of energy-smart design, what is the main benefit of maximizing daylighting in event venues?

• Increases ticket sales by creating a positive atmosphere

• Reduces lighting energy consumption and enhances occupant well-being

• Eliminates the need for HVAC systems

• Helps reduce food waste by improving visibility

Which of the following greenhouse gases is most directly linked to the energy use of diesel generators at events?

• Methane (CH₄)

• Nitrous oxide (N₂O)

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

• Ozone (O₃)

How does acid rain form as a result of energy consumption at large events?

• Water vapour mixes with methane from waste decomposition

• Sunlight reacts with carbon dioxide to create acid

• Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from fuel combustion mix with atmospheric water

• Excess solar energy causes water droplets to become acidic

Which strategy is least effective in reducing energy use at an event venue?

• Installing LED lighting with motion sensors

• Operating HVAC systems at maximum capacity before the event

• Designing zones with independent lighting control

• Using smart meters to track and manage energy consumption

Which of the following best demonstrates a threat to national security due to inefficient energy use in the event sector?

• Increased ticket prices for large-scale events

• Greater dependence on imported fossil fuels

• More competition among venues for bookings

• Shorter event durations due to energy limits

What is the function of building sensors in energy-smart event venues?

• They monitor weather patterns for outdoor events

• They detect movement and adjust systems like lighting or HVAC accordingly

• They track attendee satisfaction

• They schedule maintenance activities automatically

Which of the following venues best exemplifies sustainable event practices in Singapore?

• The Singapore Flyer

• Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre

• Clarke Quay Entertainment Hub

• National Stadium during a football match

Why is the design of event structures for disassembly and reuse considered energy smart?

• It allows event organizers to charge more for VIP seating

• It ensures better acoustics and crowd flow

• It reduces the environmental and energy cost of producing new materials for each event

• It improves branding opportunities for sponsors
