<em>Increased energy efficiency allows for the same level of service to be achieved with reduced energy use. Energy use is associated with greenhouse gas emissions, so by decreasing energy use greenhouse gas emissions will be decreased as well. Nonrenewable resources that are used for energy production, such as coal and oil are used at a slower rate with greater energy efficiency as well. Increased energy efficiency results in lower costs for energy consumers.</em>
he many benefits of energy efficiency include: Environmental: Increased efficiency can lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants, as well as decrease water use. Economic: Improving energy efficiency can lower individual utility bills, create jobs, and help stabilize electricity prices and volatility.
