WHAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

Energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same job done – and in the process, cutting energy bills and reducing pollution. Many homes and buildings use more energy than they need through inefficiencies and energy waste.

By making our homes more energy efficient, we reduce pollution by using fewer natural resources to power our home appliances. Less pollution means improved air quality for you, your family, and your community.
