(o) Noting that timber is an energy efficient, renewable and environmentally friendly raw material compared with competing products

Lean, efficient things. Healthy products.

Myth 2 Energy efficient buildings are uncomfortable.

Efficient use of energy reduces pollution, reduces energy intensity, and improves productivity and competitiveness.

Energy efficient industry can compete better, pollute less and help to achieve national energy security.

Besides, it is more efficient to reward energy conservation rather than to simply penalize energy use.

We want to get people to be more energy efficient.

Shifts to more energy efficient means of transportation ease congestion.

The first is energy conservation through more fuel efficient vehicles.

Ongoing activities include the development of standards and recommendations in sustainable transport, promotion of energy efficient technology and energy efficient investment projects and promotion of sustainable forest management.

Awareness building in energy efficiency measures and the introduction of efficient industrial energy systems is, therefore, required.

More efficient technologies normally take many years to spread through the energy sector.

The more energy efficient one is, the lower one s vulnerability to price volatility.

We will need improved energy efficiency, through green buildings and more efficient appliances.

When well insulated, a building is energy efficient, thus saving the owner money.

Energy Star, a United States government program concerned with energy efficiency in consumer products, does not rate clothes dryers.

But only if research is doubled to create new energy efficient technologies will we eventually consume less energy overall and more energy in an environmentally friendly way.

The United States is Canada's major trade market for energy products and services.

Moreover, economists contend that energy consumption per capita is declining, owing to more efficient use.

No alternative form of energy is efficient enough to compete with fossil fuels at scale.

Many small island developing States were unable to adopt energy efficient practices for lack of appropriate policies and information, and most needed energy audits.

Europeans would benefit directly through improved Internet access, lower energy costs, and more efficient transport links.

Deploying less efficient, more expensive alternative energy sources will hurt businesses and consumers, not help them.

(e) Promote efficient production and processing of forest products, with a view, inter alia, to reducing waste and enhancing recycling

Bioproducts or bio based products are materials, chemicals and energy derived from renewable biological resources.

The advances in materials science open the possibility of much more energy efficient residences and commercial buildings.

But increasing energy access is not only about supplying better, more efficient cooking stoves or light bulbs.

India, for example, has large renewable energy programmes and exports renewable energy systems and products, such as wind powered generating systems and photovoltaic cells.

PARIS Humanity s future, to say nothing of its prosperity, will depend on how the world tackles two central energy challenges securing reliable supplies of affordable energy, and switching to efficient low carbon energy.

Steadily rising prices of raw materials, agricultural products, and energy already reflect fears about future shortages.

Second, the necessary change in prices would be achieved by taxing energy, using tools that are both practical and efficient. The best option is to build a carbon charge into existing fuel taxes and apply similar charges to coal, natural gas, and other petroleum products.

Initially, there may be higher costs, usually 3 to 10 , though this figure tends to fall quickly, as everyone from architects to construction workers becomes more familiar with new ways. Moreover, suppliers re tool to manufacture more energy efficient products, causing prices to fall.

In particular, Americans were frightened by Japanese consumer products televisions, which wiped out domestic production, and automobiles, which seemed so malignly efficient.

The EU s most competitive economies are the most innovative and energy efficient, with the most highly educated workforces.

The sun is a nearly inexhaustible energy source, while energy stored in the form of chemical bonds like those found in fossil fuels is accessible, efficient, and convenient.

Energy companies must help businesses and consumers understand the real carbon footprint of all products and services.

As production value chains disaggregate into discrete components, efficient, reliable and rapid transportation of supplies and finished products has become ever more critical.

For example, lightweight, two passenger vehicles can be up to ten times more energy efficient than a typical car.

The oil crisis in 1973 also encouraged the efficient use of energy because of Japan's lack of natural resources.

The analysis shows how all major economic sectors including many energy intensive industries will grow. For example, energy efficient buildings are a boon to the cement and chemical industries.

Efficient buildings enable countries to produce and consume less energy, which supports economic development, because money is freed up for other projects, while promoting energy security and environmental sustainability.

Perhaps most important, China must now export more manufactured goods to finance imports of energy and mineral products.

In terms of total lifecycle costs, these vehicles are three to six times more energy efficient than their petroleum counterparts.

Europe cannot build an efficient external policy without achieving a minimum of harmonization of member state policies regarding energy flows, interconnections, infrastructure, investment, and greater progress toward a single energy market.

This is all the more true for educating consumers about energy efficient behavior and its implications for their own economic welfare.
