What is energy efficiency?
Energy efficiency means in a few words: getting more useful performance, with less energy input. When something lasts longer, works better and/or consumes the same amount or less energy than a previous version, with the same or better features, it is said to be more energy efficient.
How important is it to be energy efficient?
Every year the consumption of electrical energy increases worldwide. To meet energy demands, entire ecosystems are being destroyed by deforestation and fires, the planet’s natural resources are being ruthlessly squeezed and water, soil and air are being polluted.
The more energy we use, the more CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, while fossil resources such as oil and coal are approaching the limit of exhaustion. Since alternative or renewable energies will be the only ones available, their development and promotion is imperative.
