Energy Conservation “Energy Conservation is the Foundation of Energy Independence” – Tom Allen What Is Energy Conservation? Energy conservation means reducing the consumption of energy by producing or using less of it. Energy conservation is “the prevention of the wasteful use of energy, especially in order to ensure its continuing availability.” Energy conservation involves using less energy by adjusting your behaviors and habits. What Is Energy Efficiency? Energy Efficiency is doing more with the same amount of energy or less energy. Energy efficiency involves the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. Energy efficiency involves the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function.
