Energy efficiency allows us to get the result we want with minimum energy consumption – it enables us to do more with less. To achieve this essential aim, we are adopting more energy-efficient technologies, optimising production and consumption processes, insulating buildings to reduce heat loss, and promoting eco-friendly modes of transport. 

However, reducing energy consumption in buildings remains a major energy efficiency challenge. Nevertheless, energy efficiency is crucial to solving today’s environmental and economic issues. It requires the cooperation of everyone in every sector of society if it is to be implemented effectively and for the long term. Everyone should therefore be encouraged to save energy through appropriate measures and incentives.
