We want to get people to be more energy efficient.

These efforts led to major improvements in energy efficiency.

Technological innovation and increased energy efficiency have considerable potential.

34 (XXI) Rationalization and increased efficiency of energy and the use of renewable sources of energy

Policies targeting energy efficiency and security largely lapsed.

But if China can improve its energy efficiency, it will save money and strengthen its energy security.

Energy efficiency is often called the low hanging fruit of emissions reduction.

Consider the energy inefficiency of an automobile, for example.

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

But, to optimize efficiency, utilities need to be rewarded for what they help consumers save.

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

Myth 3 If energy efficiency worked, everyone would have done it already.

They are aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at reducing pollution.

They point to the savings available from energy efficiency, and to the market opportunities generated by clean energy technologies as the processes of learning and discovery take hold.

Ahead of that, a new president should unleash America s creative potential in boosting energy efficiency and developing clean technologies.

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

Perhaps the single most promising development in terms of energy efficiency is plug in hybrid technology for automobiles, which may be able to triple the fuel efficiency of new automobiles within the next decade.

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

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

Support for energy efficiency and renewable energy sources is lagging, while governments around the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing an incipient catastrophe.

UNIDO's services under this service module cover the fields of rural energy for productive use and energy efficiency, as well as climate change.

At the same time, demand response is a component of smart energy demand, which also includes energy efficiency, home and building energy management, distributed renewable resources, and electric vehicle charging.

The Hartwell Paper, then, sets out to develop a strategy that identifies a number of ways of pulling the levers of energy efficiency and carbon intensity.

And much of the additional spending needs be made by households, driven by a profound change in social attitudes to energy efficiency.

These projects are aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at reducing pollution, including the emission of greenhouse gases.

Programme Component C.2 Industrial Energy Efficiency

The Obama administration is now working to initiate a sensible long term approach to energy, with new fuel efficiency standards for motor vehicles, investments in technology, energy efficiency programs for dwellings, and environmentally sound exploration for additional resources.

Improvement in US performance on climate change will have to come from innovation and increased energy efficiency.

Three objectives should be targeted low cost alternatives to fossil fuels, greater energy efficiency, and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

The energy future of nine billion people, which is what the world population will be in the middle of the century, lies neither in fossil fuels nor in nuclear energy, but in renewable energy sources and dramatic improvements in energy efficiency.

Noting that, in addition to increasing the efficiency of energy production and use, expanding the use of new and renewable sources of energy and advanced clean energy technology offers options that could improve global and local environmental conditions,

Capturing the energy efficiency prize is critical both to climate and energy security and it relies on a well known set of policy signals and a proven set of technologies.

Definition of energy efficiency improvement project activities The Executive Board agreed to draw up an indicative list of eligible project activities sectors, as proposed in the attachment to annex 2 of the annotated agenda of its third meeting.

Proficient in Word and Word Perfect

Enhancing water use efficiency and managing competing uses

With a long term and predictable carbon tax and subsidy system, the world would move systematically toward low carbon energy, greater energy efficiency, and CCS.

Both China and India can learn a lot from Japan, and both governments, fortunately, are firmly committed to increasing their energy efficiency and use of green technology.

And now, having underinvested in energy efficiency and security when the costs of doing so were lower, America is poorly positioned to face the prospect of rising real prices.

Appropriate regulation and sufficiently long time horizons can make structures of all kinds much more energy efficient, without imposing burdensome costs.

The energy future of nine billion people, which is what the world population will be in the middle of the century, lies neither in fossil fuels nor in nuclear energy, but in renewable energy sources and dramatic improvements in energy efficiency. We already know this.

Dr. A. Yazdizadeh former head of Iran Energy Efficiency Organization and Ministry of Energy top researcher (2008) .

For security and environmental reasons, their energy efficiency increased via a combination of taxes, higher consumer prices, and public education.

If I buy a hybrid car, install a solar panel at my home, or upgrade to a more efficient water heater, I get a tax credit.

With the global economy still recovering from the 2008 financial crash, higher energy costs not yet fully offset by greater energy efficiency are worrying business and political leaders.

These efforts led to major improvements in energy efficiency. From 1973 to 1985, US energy consumption per dollar of GDP declined by 28 five times faster than during the previous quarter century, according to the DOE.
