Know the various benefits of Energy Efficiency Energy Efficiency can be achieved by availing energy reduction services while creating products and services for human consumption. This can be put to use in industries, housing, transportation and other public places where efficient use of energy in manufacturing, lighting and maintaining systems for the efficient running of the business and services provided. Given below are some motivations to improve energy efficiency – • Reduction in financial costs can help in industrial development and achieve better production to improve the country’s economic development. The savings in energy costs can be used in setting up more energy efficient technology for the development of the industry. • Construction of the building in an energy efficient and sustainable model is of prime importance in the present times of energy crisis where energy losses have to be minimized. The building design should be such that it considers the environment around the building, the materials, and resources available for construction. • Building interior of the homes with energy efficiency can help in maintaining a comfortable lifestyle like insulating the home to use lesser heating and cooling energy in the building for better living. Illuminating homes with LED, fluorescent lighting systems and even letting in natural light wherever possible can help in energy reduction. Latest models of energy efficient appliances like refrigerators, ovens, washing machines have been designed to reduce energy consumption. Using a clothesline to dry your clothes than the dryer is a step towards energy efficiency. • The innumerable transport vehicles today are not the only advantage and a boon for our fast-paced lives, which is not restricted to local but also global travel, but also make us think in terms of better vehicle manufacturing designs which are energy efficient. Fuel efficiency is the need of the hour. Non-renewable resources are dwindling in capacity and judicious use of these resources is the priority. Automobiles, freight trucks, ships, liners, aircraft, the list goes on, need to be designed and used in a more energy efficient way to sustain our planet. • Energy used in public places like street lighting, parks, playgrounds, auditoriums and host of other public services should be checked periodically by adequate energy audit services. So that the more energy efficient and sustainable models can be designed. Benefits of energy efficiency are manifold which can include – • The first and foremost is to save money by decreased cost of purchase of energy. • Reduced air pollution and improvement of the general health of people. • Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a better environment.
