Energy Efficiency Defined

"Defining Energy Efficiency and Its Measurement

The vast size and complexity of the U.S. economy makes consistent, meaningful, and understandable measurement of any broad-based characteristic a daunting task. Energy efficiency is no exception.

Concept of Energy Efficiency

The words "energy efficient" and "energy efficiency" are in common use qualitatively, but are difficult to define or even to conceptualize. The definition of "energy efficiency" seems to be philosophical in nature. An engineer may define energy efficiency in a very restrictive equipment sense, whereas an environmentalist may have a more broad view of energy efficiency. An economist, politician, sociologist, etc., may each have a different concept of energy efficiency.

This report, puts forth two concepts of energy efficiency, a technical concept and a more broad, subjective concept. Often the words "energy efficiency" have been used to describe what actually may be conservation. For example, consider an office building that post signs, "BE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT--USE THE STAIRS INSTEAD OF THE ELEVATOR." If people heed the sign and take the stairs instead of the elevators, is this an increase in energy efficiency? Less energy is used, but services are reduced. Behavior has changed, leading to reductions in energy use. People with a social view of energy efficiency might consider the energy savings to be an efficiency gain, while those with a more technical view of efficiency would classify the savings as conservation rather than efficiency improvement.

Consider another example: A household undertakes measures such as adding storm doors, high-efficiency light bulbs, and attic insulation. At the same time, in the winter the household raises the thermostat and leaves the lights on for longer periods, using the same amount of energy it used previously. Has this household improved its energy-use efficiency? In a very restrictive technical sense, yes. The household is receiving higher levels of services (warmer interior) for the same energy input, and the individual services are being performed with less energy intensity (fewer watts per lumen and fewer Btu per degree temperature rise). According to an outcome-based concept, however, energy efficiency is not affected unless the higher temperatures and longer lighting hours meet additional household needs. (Box 2.1a)

Energy efficiency in a more subjective sense may refer to the relative thrift or extravagance with which energy inputs are used to provide services (Box 2.1b). Energy services encompass a myriad of activities, such as powering a vehicle or a toaster, firing a boiler, cooling an office, or lighting a parking lot. To be energy efficient per se is to provide services with an energy input that is small relative to a fixed standard or normal input." Dept of energy Oct 17,1999 Learn More

DOE Announces Nearly $300 Million Rebate Program to Encourage Purchases of Energy Efficient Appliances (July 2009)

2009-08-20T11:37:00.000-07:00

On July 14, 2009 U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the availability of nearly $300 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for state-run rebate programs for consumer purchases of new ENERGY STAR qualified home appliances. The new program underscores the Obama Administration's commitment to make American homes more energy efficient, while helping to support the nation's economic recovery.
