ENERGY CONSERVATION AND ENERGY AUDIT (CONCEPTS AND DIFFERENCE)
Energy Conservation
- Energy conservation effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service.
- This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently or by reducing the amount of service used.
- Energy conservation reduces the need for energy Services and can result in increased environmental quality national security, personal financial security and higher savings.
- Energy can be conserved by reducing wastage and losses, improving efficiency through technological upgrades and improved operation and maintenance.
- On a global level energy use can also be reduced by the stabilization of population growth.
- In the case of fossil fuels, the conservation also can include finding new ways to tap into the Earth’s supply so that the commonly used oil fields are not drained completely.
- This allows for those fields to replenish themselves more. This is not a process that happens overnight when you are talking about replenishing natural resources you are talking about alleviating excess demand on the supply in 100’s of years time to allow nature to recover. Without energy conservation, the world will deplete its natural resources.
- While some people do not see that as an issue because it will take many decades to happen and they foresee that by the time the natural resource is gone there will be an alternative, the depletion also comes at the cost of creating an enormous destructive waste product that the impacts the rest of life. The goal with energy conservation techniques is reduce demand, protect and replenish supplies, develop and use alternative energy sources and to clean up the damage from the prior energy processes.
