Q: Refer to SMART  2020, Chapter 3, to match the  concepts with the phrase that best completes it.

[Image: Note:] Be sure to review the full meaning of each abbreviation.
- Use information on required output of motor system to do this. | Optimize motor systems
- Receive information at the factory level on actual output of all motor systems in real time to do this. | Optimize industrial systems
- Establishing this between VSD and the central control system is one way to rethink motor systems using ICT. | Wireless communication
- These monitor the load condition of the motor and adjust the voltage input accordingly; they offer minor efficiency gains, but extend the motor lifespan. | IMCs
- These include lack of capital, poor awareness of the business case for reducing energy use through optimiztion, lack of skills and capacity, lack of national standards, out-of-date infrastructure. | Hurdles to adoption of smart motor systems
- Comprise a range of software and hardware tools that monitor, optimize, and manage operations, which helps reduce the storage needed for inventory, fuel consumption, kilometres driven, and frequency of vehicles travelling empty or partially loaded. | Smart logisics
- This improves logistics through asset tracking. | RFID
- These can be used to track local terrain and information for understanding optimal routes. | GIS and GPS
- They provide real-time information about the vehicle's efficiency and behaviour. | Onboard driver information and data logging
- They optimize communication, inventory control, distribution networks, stock repair, business performance. | RTRO, CPFR, VMR/MRO, BSS, OSS
- They allow the back-loading of vehicles on the network and for the return of unsold/damaged goods to the supplier. | Reverse logistics
- The two areas of the greatest energy impact in a building. | Lighting and HVAC.

Q: Which of the following represent the actual advantages of teleworking?
- Employers do not need to provide office space. (Unless the teleworking is only part time . . .)
- Less fuel is consumed for transportation.
- Teleworking makes it easier for employees to collaborate.
- Teleworking makes it easier to manage employee performance.
- Any dematerialization effort may increase awarenes of climate change issues and low-carbon living, and help to change corporate culture.
A: Employers do not need to provide office space.; Less fuel is consumed for transportation.; Any dematerialization effort may increase awarenes of climate change issues and low-carbon living, and help to change corporate culture.

Q: The largest dematerialization opportunity identified in SMART 2020 is
- teleworking. (Is that still true? What do you think?)
- virtual online meetings.
- streaming media.
- online billing.
- e-texts for educational use.
A: teleworking.

Q: The emission reduction that can be realized via dematerialization, smart motor systems, smart logistics, smart buildings, and smart grids is referred to in SMART 2020 as
- the enabling effect.
- the greenhouse effect. (No!)
- the carbon offset effect.
- the industrial greening effect.
- the ICT transformation effect.
A: the enabling effect.

Q: Match the terms below to the best definition:
- The substitution of high-carbon products and activities with low-carbon alternatives, e.g., replacing face-to-face meetings with videoconferencing or paper with e-billing—moving information instead of goods. | dematerialization
- Computer-controlled device that can match the power provided by the motor to the requirements of the task, thus saving energy and reducing emissions. | variable-speed drive (VSD)
- Attached to objects, these contain electronically stored information. Wireless non-contact radio-frequency electromagnetic fields are used to transfer data for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking them. | radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag
- A computer system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data.The associated applications allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations. | geographic information system (GIS)
- A space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more special satellites. | global positioning system (GPS)
- Runs heating and cooling systems according to occupants’ needs. Its data can be used to identify additional opportunities for efficiency improvements. | Building management system (BMS)
- A set of software and hardware tools that enable generators to route power more efficiently, reducing the need for excess capacity and allowing two-way, real time information exchange with their customersfor real time demand side management (DSM). | smart grid
- Comprise a range of software andhardware tools that monitor, optimise and manage operations, which helps reduce the storage needed for inventory, fuel consumption, kilometres driven, and frequency of vehicles travelling empty or partially loaded. | smart logistics
- A suiteof technologies used to make the design, construction and operation of buildings more efficient, applicable to both existing and new-build properties. | smart building

Q: Which region had the most widespread public broadband Internet access as of 2008 when SMART 2020 was published?
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific (Is this still the region had the most widespread public broadband Internet access?)
- Africa
- South America
A: Asia Pacific

Q: Studies on the networking and mobile use of 10 to 16-year-olds shows that they are actively using collaborative technologies and may develop very different ways of working in the future.
- True (Are teenagers likely to continue these different ways of working in the workplace?)
- False
A: True
