Energy efficiency is the goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. In simple terms, how can we use less energy to provide the same service? Energy efficiency is not conservation. Conservation is reducing or going without service to save energy.

Advantages of energy efficiency:

• If your business is concerned with reducing costs, your plan should include a discussion on how to reduce energy costs.
• Generate substantial savings in operational and maintenance costs by running leaner and greener.
• Tax reductions: Businesses can get deductions for new or renovated buildings that save 50% or more of projected annual energy costs for heating, cooling, and lighting compared to model national standards, and partial deductions for efficiency improvements to individual lighting, HVAC, and water heating or envelope systems.
