Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is the relationship between the quantity of useful energy and the quantity of energy consumed. It refers to activities that are aimed at reducing the amount of energy required by using more technically-advanced equipment, typically without affecting the services provided. Saving energy through efficiency also saves money on utility bills and reduces the emission of greenhouse gases that might be generated in electricity production.
