Energy Efficiency

According to EnergyStar, energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same job done which concurrently helps users cut their energy bills, save money and reduce pollution. Many places and products waste or use energy inefficiently; however, utilizing good energy efficiency practices is one of the easiest ways to reduce this waste and one of the most cost-effective ways to combat climate change.
