| 1. | Operations and Maintenance (O&M) are the decisions and actions regarding the control and upkeep of property and equipment. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 2. | Operational Efficiency represents the life-cycle, cost-effective mix of preventive, predictive, and reliability-centered maintenance technologies, coupled with equipment calibration, tracking, and computerized maintenance management capabilities all targeting reliability, safety, occupant comfort, and system efficiency. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 3. | Five well-defined elements of an effective O&M program include Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Training, and Administration-OMETA. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 4. | A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is a type of management software that performs functions in support of management and tracking of O&M activities |
| | True |
| | False |
| 5. | Reactive maintenance can be defined as actions performed on a time- or machine-run-based schedule that detect, preclude, or mitigate degradation of a component or system with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful life through controlling degradation to an acceptable level. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 6. | Predictive maintenance can be defined as measurements that detect the onset of a degradation mechanism, thereby allowing causal stressors to be eliminated or controlled prior to any significant deterioration in the component physical state. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 7. | Infrared (IR) thermography can be defined as the process of generating visual images that represent variations in IR radiance of surfaces of objects. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 8. | What does PPE stand for? |
| | Personal Protective Equipment |
| | Professional Protective Equipment |
| | Professional Product Equipment |
| | None of the above |
| 9. | A measurement of the speed at which a machine or machine component is moving as it undergoes oscillating motion is called velocity. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 10. | New building commissioning (Cx) is a means to ensuring through design reviews, functional testing, system documentation, and operator training that systems and equipment in new buildings are operating properly. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 11. | Value recommissioning (VCx) is the lowest cost option that focuses on the most common opportunities, ideally incorporating them into daily operating procedures. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 12. | The primary goals of new building commissioning efforts are to |
| | Ensure design intent criteria and the owner’s requirements are documented and met |
| | Ensure systems and equipment are fully functional and operate in an integrated manner |
| | Provide documentation on systems and equipment that will be |
| | Verify O&M staff training needs is met |
| | All of the above |
| 13. | Ultrasonic, or ultrasounds, are defined as sound waves that have a frequency level below 20 kHz. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 14. | Advanced meters can duplicate the conventional metering function of recording total consumption, plus offer enhanced functions such as time-of-use, peak demand, load survey, and power outage recording. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 15. | The four predominant levels of resource metering ( EPR 1996) are: |
| One-time/spot measurement |
| Run-time measurement |
| Short-term monitoring |
| Long-term monitoring |
| | True |
| | False |
| 16. | Short-term monitoring combines both elements of the previous two levels into a time-series record of energy or resource use: magnitude and duration. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 17. | Boilers are fuel-burning appliances that produce either hot water or steam that gets circulated through piping for heating or process uses. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 18. | A combustion analyzer samples, analyzes, and reports the combustion efficiency of most types of combustion equipment including boilers, furnaces, and water heaters. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 19. | Operators and maintenance technicians must conduct a visual inspection of a boiler, especially during start-ups and running operations. |
| | True |
| | False |
| 20. | A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which two fluids (air and water) are brought into direct contact with each other to affect the transfer of heat. |
| | True |
| | False |
