E-mail Page Environment Program Energy Efficiency Buildings and the equipment and appliances used inside them are responsible for more than 40 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing energy use within the built environment is among the most cost-effective ways to lessen the potential magnitude of climate change impacts. Our grantmaking aims to reduce the energy use of buildings as well as the equipment, appliances, and electronics used within them. We support national-level energy efficiency efforts, including work that addresses barriers to implementing energy efficiency practices at scale. We also support regional and state-level energy efficiency work in the Midwest and Southeast. Our programmatic approach To help society realize the potential of energy efficiency, we are supporting three strategies. Secure the adoption and effective implementation of policies that reduce energy use in buildings. A variety of state and federal policies hold great potential to reduce the amount of energy required to heat, cool, and ventilate buildings and to power the equipment, appliances, and electronics used within them. These policies include building energy codes, energy efficiency standards for equipment and appliances, and water efficiency standards for equipment and plumbing fixtures. In addition, policies that encourage utility investment in energy efficiency programs serving their customers are critical. We support nonprofit organizations working to secure the adoption and effective implementation of such policies. Our grants focus on national policies and state-level policies in the Midwest and Southeast United States.

Lugar Energy Initiative Energy Efficiency In the next few decades, worldwide energy demands are expected to rise by as much as 20%. U.S. energy demands are predicted to rise by 30%. Such increases would dramatically increase competition for oil and natural gas resources and raise the threats from carbon emissions and global climate change. However, new studies indicate that the growth rate in worldwide energy consumption could be cut in half over the next fifteen years if households and industry take aggressive energy efficiency actions. Energy efficiency is a comparative term that describes the ability to produce or use energy more effectively or more quickly. Energy efficiency is increased when an energy conversion technology, such as an automobile engine, household appliance, or steam turbine, undergoes a technical change that allows it to provide the same service while using less energy. It can take place in all sectors of energy production, distribution, and use. There are a variety of ways in which people can increase energy efficiency in their homes, businesses, and vehicles. Together these actions can make as much of a difference as reducing energy consumption or having additional fossil fuel resources.

13. Efficient Energy Use - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

Efficient energy use From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Energy efficiency (disambiguation) A spiral-type integrated compact fluorescent lamp , which has been popular among North American consumers since its introduction in the mid 1990s. Sustainable energy Renewable energy Anaerobic digestion Hydroelectricity ... Cogeneration Energy efficiency Geothermal heat pump Green building Passive Solar Sustainable transport ... e Efficient energy use , sometimes simply called energy efficiency , is the goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating a home allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature. Installing fluorescent lights or natural skylights reduces the amount of energy required to attain the same level of illumination compared to using traditional incandescent light bulbs Compact fluorescent lights use two-thirds less energy and may last 6 to 10 times longer than incandescent lights. Improvements in energy efficiency are most often achieved by adopting a more efficient technology or production process. There are various motivations to improve energy efficiency. Reducing energy use reduces energy costs and may result in a financial cost saving to consumers if the energy savings offset any additional costs of implementing an energy efficient technology. Reducing energy use is also seen as a key solution to the problem of reducing
