Exam Cards — Certified Energy Manager Exam Flashcard Study System Cem Test Practice Questions Review For The Certified Energy Manager

The effective annual return from the project’s cash flows. Compare to company’s hurdle rate (e.g., 12%). If IRR > hurdle rate → accept.

Boxed set of 300+ double-sided flashcards, plus quick-reference tabs and online access code. System Introduction (Printed on inside cover of card box) Welcome to the most effective rapid-review system for the CEM Exam, administered by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). This flashcard system is designed to condense the 5 key CEM exam bodies of knowledge— Energy Accounting & Economics, Energy Audits & Instrumentation, Electrical Systems, HVAC & Thermal Systems, and Building Envelope & Lighting —into high-yield, portable study cards. The effective annual return from the project’s cash flows

Savings = $2,000,000 × 0.08 = $160,000 ROI = ($160,000 / $250,000) × 100 = Savings = $2,000,000 × 0

Isolated retrofit, stipulated assumption for unmeasured factors. Option B: All parameters measured. Card 8 – Front True or False: Power factor correction capacitors reduce kW demand charges. Card 8 – Back A: False. Capacitors reduce kvar , thus lowering kVA (apparent power), which may reduce kVA demand charges , but not kW demand. kW is real power, unchanged by capacitors. thus lowering kVA (apparent power)

Also relevant for CEM: ASHRAE/IESNA 100 (Existing Buildings), ASHRAE 62.1 (Ventilation). Practice Question: A plant has annual energy cost $2,000,000. A project saves 8% with a $250,000 cost. What is the ROI first year? Card 13 – Back A: ROI = (Annual Savings / Project Cost) × 100

Note: May produce multiple values for non-conventional cash flows. Which ASHRAE Standard defines energy baseline and modeling for commercial buildings? Card 12 – Back A: ASHRAE Standard 90.1 (Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential) — particularly Appendix G for Performance Rating Method.
