Welcome to the most
comprehensive Energy Efficiency information portal on the internet.
Energy efficiency offers a powerful
and cost-effective tool for achieving a sustainable energy future.
Improvements in energy efficiency can reduce the need for investment in
energy infrastructure, cut fuel costs, increase competitiveness and
improve consumer welfare.
Environmental benefits can also be achieved by the reduction of
greenhouse gases emissions and local air pollution.
Energy security can also
profit from improved energy efficiency by decreasing the
reliance on fossil fuels.
Energy
Conservation and Energy Efficiency are two sides of the same coin.
Most
people think they mean the same thing, but they don't.
Energy
conservation means reducing the level of energy use by turning down a
thermostat, or turning off a light, or turning up the temperature
of your refrigerator.
Energy efficiency means
getting the same job done while using less energy.
Efficiency is usually done by replacing an older, less efficient
appliance with a new one.
This site's aim is to provide
you with an information base with which you can make informed choices that
suite your needs and will help the environment in some way, no matter how
small a difference, it always starts with the end user.
