Reducing the amount of energy used, for example, through the use of energy efficient lighting and appliances, turning off lights and appliances when not in use and using insulation and weather stripping. This may also be referred to as energy efficiency.
Practices and measures that increase energy efficiency.( 099)
Energy conservation is the first step towards energy independence.
Reduction or elimination of unnecessary energy use and waste. See energy-efficiency.
using energy without waste..... return
methods of reducing energy use through insulation, increasing energy efficiency, and changes in patterns of use.
taking care to be efficient in the use of energy so that it is not wasted. By becoming more efficient in the use of energy, the demand for energy can be reduced so that new energy production facilities are not required.
Elimination or minimalization of energy waste, reduction of energy use.
A Features field to indicate the types of energy conservation features. (Caulked/seal, Dual Pane Windows, Low-Flow Shower, etc.)
The efficient use of systems that consume energy.
To look for, determine and institute changes that will conserve energy.
Using less energy to achieve the same amount of work or decreasing the amount of fuel used to produce the same energy output. By reducing demand and improving energy efficiency, energy resources can be conserved.
In addition to developing alternative sources of energy, energy supplies can be extended by the conservation (the planned management) of currently available resources. Three types of possible energy conservation practices may be described. The first type is curtailment, that is, doing withoutãfor example, closing factories to reduce the amount of power consumed or cutting back on travel to reduce the amount of gasoline burned. The second type is overhaul, that is, changing the way people live and the way goods and services are producedãfor example, slowing further suburbanization of society, using less energy-intensive materials in production processes, and decreasing the amount of energy consumed by certain products (such as automobiles). The third type involves the more efficient use of energy, that is, adjusting to higher energy costsãfor example, investing in cars that go farther per unit of fuel, capturing waste heat in factories and reusing it, and insulating houses. This third option requires less drastic changes in lifestyle, so governments and societies most commonly adopt it over the other two options.
Avoiding or minimising wasteful methods of fuel use by using more efficient energy conversion devices for energy generation or energy using devices at the point of use. (strictly should be 'fuel conservation' since 'energy' is always conserved). In simple terms, reducing energy losses in houses by installing insulation.
Wise use and careful management of energy resources by reducing wasteful energy use, using energy for a given purpose more efficiently, or reducing energy use altogether. See Conservation.
'For the physical concepts, see conservation of energy and energy efficiency.' Energy conservation is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used while achieving a similar outcome of end use. This practice may result in increase of financial capital, environmental value, national security, personal security, and human comfort.
