Energy Efficiency

Energy is the backbone of our daily lives, powering everything from our gadgets to industries. This course explores the essential concepts of energy conservation and efficiency. We’ll differentiate between the two, understanding how conservation involves reducing energy use, while efficiency focuses on accomplishing tasks with less energy through advanced technologies. We’ll delve into non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy, and how they impact our environment. Additionally, we’ll explore renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy, which play a vital role in a sustainable future. Finally, we’ll discuss practical steps individuals and organizations can take to save energy and reduce their environmental footprint, from recycling to adopting electronic documents and embracing teleconferencing services.
