An energy audit is best described as
Answer: A
It identifies the flows, quantifies the losses and proposes measures with their costs and savings, which is a good deal more than a consumption figure. Safety inspection and asset valuation are separate exercises with separate purposes.

The Energy Conservation Act defines an energy audit as a verification, monitoring and analysis of energy use, including a technical report containing
Answer: B
The statutory wording ties the audit to an action plan rather than to a diagnosis alone, which is why a report without costed recommendations does not satisfy it. The Act of 2001 is the instrument under which Indian energy audits are conducted.

The body established under the Energy Conservation Act to promote efficiency in India is
Answer: C
It came into being in 2002 and administers the certification of energy managers and auditors, the appliance labelling scheme, the building code and the trading scheme for designated consumers. The other three bodies exist for quite different purposes.

A designated consumer under the Act is an establishment that
Answer: D
The thresholds are notified sector by sector, and crossing one brings obligations: appointing a certified energy manager, having a mandatory audit at prescribed intervals and reporting consumption. Voluntary effort and self-generation have no bearing on the status.

A designated consumer is obliged to appoint
Answer: A
The manager is the accountable person inside the organisation, responsible for the reporting and for driving the measures, and the qualification is by the Bureau's national examination. The audit itself may be conducted by an external accredited auditor.

The Perform Achieve and Trade scheme works by
Answer: B
Each designated consumer receives a target expressed as specific energy consumption; those who beat it earn certificates and those who miss it must buy them or pay a penalty. Making the surplus tradeable is what gives the scheme its market character.

The certificates issued to a designated consumer that exceeds its target are called
Answer: C
They are denominated in tonnes of oil equivalent saved and are traded on the power exchanges, so a consumer who over-performs is paid by one who under-performs. Renewable certificates and carbon credits belong to separate and unconnected schemes.

A walk-through audit is characterised by
Answer: D
A day or two on site with the bills and the nameplate data identifies the obvious waste and estimates the scale of the opportunity, which is enough to decide whether a detailed study is worth commissioning. Its numbers are indicative rather than bankable.

The audit type appropriate before any large investment is committed is
Answer: A
A lender or a board asked for capital wants savings established by measurement, risks quantified and the economics defensible, which only the most thorough grade of audit provides. A walk-through estimate is not evidence on which money is committed.

A detailed or comprehensive audit differs from a preliminary one chiefly in
Answer: B
Portable instruments are used to establish actual loads, efficiencies and losses, which turns indicative figures into ones that can be defended. Scope, who conducts it and who receives it vary independently of the grade.
