Energy Efficiency
• Energy efficiency is a concept that allows us to use less energy and obtain the same
energy service. It is cost-effective and reduces the impact on health and the
environment.
• Energy efficiency is the use of less energy to perform the same task or produce the
same result. Energy-efficient homes and buildings use less energy to heat, cool,
and run appliances and electronics, and energy-efficient manufacturing facilities
use less energy to produce goods.
• Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to combat
climate change, reduce energy costs for consumers, and improve the
competitiveness of businesses.
BENEFITS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The IEA examines the full spectrum of energy issues including oil, gas and
coal supply and demand, renewable energy technologies, electricity
markets, energy efficiency, access to energy, demand side management
and much more. Through its work, the IEA advocates policies that will
enhance the reliability, affordability and sustainability of energy in its 31
member countries, 11 association countries and beyond.
In a ministerial statement released today following the IEA’s 8th Global Conference on
Energy Efficiency in Versailles, France, governments from across Africa, the Americas,
Asia and Europe highlighted the critical role that energy efficiency can play in
improving living standards and energy security – and in accelerating the clean energy
transition toward reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This means ramping up annual
energy efficiency progress from 2.2% today to over 4% annually by 2030 in a move
that would create jobs, expand energy access, reduce energy bills, decrease air
pollution, and diminish countries’ reliance on fossil fuel imports – among other social
and economic benefits.
