Efficiency
The percentage (%) of energy that is lost to perform work
The rest of the energy is "lost" to the surroundings, usually as heat
5
Maximizing Efficiency: Heating and Cooling
Insulation - a layer of material that traps air (prevents air temperature changes indoors)
6
Lighting
Light emitting diode (LED) lights are providing consumers a cost-effective and energy efficient alternative to compact fluorescent (CFL) and incandescent lighting. (Source: Energy.gov)

Transportation
Engineers have improved the energy efficiency of cars by designing better engines and tires.
In many communities, public transit systems provide an alternative to driving.
Biking and walking instead of driving (when possible) helps save energy and gives you fresh air and exercise! :-)

SO what is energy conservation?
Energy conservation means reducing energy use.
- Walk to the store instead of getting a ride
- Unplug any appliances that are not in use (will still use energy when sitting)
- Turn off the lights when leaving a room
-Recycle
