The Energy Pyramid

Energy Conservation

Energy Conservation It is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energyused. It may be chieved through a decrease on energy use while achieving a similar outcome, or by reduced consumption of energy services. Individuals and organizations that are direct consumers of energy may want to conserve energy in order to reduce energy costs.

Energy conservation means being more careful in the way we use energy or improving our habits. Like the definition says; keep from being wasted.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a far cry from the energy conservation images and practices of the ’70s and ‘80s - of doing with less or doing without, of being uncomfortable or less comfortable. Not unlike the tremendous technological strides on the computer, electronics, and other fronts, energy efficiency takes advantage of advances in technology to provide significantly better, smarter services.

Energy Efficiency means:

1. Using advanced and state-of-the-art technologies to provide better quality energy services while using less energy.
2. Getting the most productivity from every unit of energy.
3. Getting the desired energy services — comfortable homes, profitable businesses, convenient transportation — with less energy use, less air pollution, and lower cost
4. Using energy wisely.
5. Eliminating energy waste.
6. Using technology to easily reduce energy use without having to daily "remember" to do it yourself
