Energy Efficiency and Conservation Practices for Sustainable Development

The path to an optimum energy solution for sustainable development is through energy efficiency and energy conservation (EEAEC). To attain and maintain optimal energy procurement and use in any home or organization, EE and EC work together. They contribute to reducing energy expenditures, waste, and negative environmental effects without compromising the caliber of the work produced. Energy efficiency (EE) refers to the ability to save energy while maintaining the same level of service. It is the ability to use modern technology and equipment to perform the same tasks with less energy. Energy conservation (EC) is achieved, on the other hand, when you adopt better ways of doing things while using the same amount of available energy to produce more valuable work. EC minimizes the need for nonrenewable energy sources. The spin-offs could result in improved environmental quality, national and personal security, and cost savings, putting EC at the top of the sustainable energy portfolio hierarchy. The purpose of this article was to investigate and demonstrate the technical distinctions between EE and EC, allowing us to create an energy audit checklist applicable to residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
