3. What is energy efficiency? ACEEE definitions: “Energy efficiency is using less energy to provide the same (or better) energy services, such as a refrigerator that uses less energy to keep food cold, windows that reduce heating and cooling loads, or manufacturing processes with less waste.” “Energy productivity is the inverse of energy intensity, the amount of economic output per unit of energy input, and highlights the economic benefits of efficiency.”
