Those of you who may ask, what is energy efficiency? Energy efficiency is using less energy (or power) to complete the same task. Most of us entirely rely on energy to get through our day with things such as electricity to cool and heat our homes, charge our electronics, use our appliances, and energy is even the fuel we use for our vehicles. Using less energy is something everybody tries to do, especially to save money. According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, "Energy efficiency is "using less energy to provide the same service."" A common phrase I have heard fro my family countless times is "Turn off the lights, you are wasting energy." In fact, production industries have came up with ways to waste less energy with the same products. Some may not be paying much attention but when buying house appliances, things like televisions, refrigerators, washer and dryers all have stickers that points out if it is an energy saver.
