Energy conservation
E
nergy
conservation
is the practice of decreasing
the quantity of energy used while achieving
a similar outcome.
This procedure
may result in an increase of financial
capital, environmental value, national security,
personal security, and human comfort. Individuals and organizations
that are direct consumers of energy may want to conserve
energy in order to reduce energy costs and promote economic,
political and environmental sustainability.
Industrial and commercial
users may want to increase efficiency
and as a result this maximizes
their profit.
Energy
conservation is an important element of energy policy.
In general, energy conservation reduces the energy consumption and
energy demand per capita, and as a result, offsets
the growth
in energy supply needed to keep up with population growth. This
reduces the rise in energy costs, and can reduce the need for new
power plants, and energy imports. The reduced energy demand can
provide more flexibility
in choosing the most preferred methods of energy production.
By reducing emissions, energy conservation is an important part of lessening climate change. Energy conservation facilitates the replacement of non-renewable resources with renewable energy. Energy conservation is often the most economical solution to energy shortages, and is a more environmentally benign alternative to increased energy production. For example, a form of energy conservation can be simply just recycling. Recycling reuses and renews resources; it also reduces landfill deposition and conserves natural resources.
