Energy Efficiency: A 'new' energy source and its metrics
0 likes307 views
The document discusses energy efficiency and the need for standardized international metrics to measure it. It argues that energy efficiency should be viewed as a major energy source and that international standards are needed to benchmark it, through tools like energy audits and assessments. The document advocates for smart electrification using standards as a key way to mitigate climate change, and for prioritizing the highest potential technologies like solar, wind, hydro and nuclear to generate low emission power.
