Energy Efficiency
Saving energy is an effort to reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved by increasing the energy efficiency in conjunction with reduction of energy itself or reducing its consumption from conventional energy sources.
Thus, saving energy leads to increased financial capital, environmental quality and the consistent maintainance of sustained values. Those, who choose to conserve energy, promote their economic security and industrial users can maximize the gain and profit as a result of more efficient use of energy.
Energy Efficiency Approach
European Union Regulations and Directives
Due to concerns about the global warming, the EU Member Countries have committed themselves to reduce the consumption of traditional energy sources by 20% by the year 2020. In 2011, nevertheless persisted many obstacles to achieve these goals. The European Parliament adopted the directive, which will require that each EU Member Country needs to meet three targets by 2020: to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 20%, increase energy efficiency by 20% and finally it has been determined that 20% of entire energy in the European Union must come from the renewable sources.
