Energy Efficiency: Energy Management and Conservation

Energy management aims to minimize energy consumption while maintaining or improving the level of service.

Energy deregulation is not a common energy management strategy. It refers to the restructuring of the electricity industry, separating generation, transmission, and distribution.

An energy audit involves measuring energy consumption, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and evaluating energy efficiency.

Incandescent bulbs are not energy-efficient lighting technology as they consume more energy and produce less light compared to other options.

Energy savings refer to the reduction in energy consumption resulting from the implementation of energy efficiency measures.

Increased energy production is not a benefit of energy efficiency. Energy efficiency focuses on reducing consumption rather than increasing production.

Energy conservation aims to reduce energy consumption through behavioral changes and the use of energy-efficient technologies.

Driving less and walking or biking more is not a common energy conservation strategy. It is a transportation strategy that aims to reduce vehicle emissions and promote physical activity.

Energy efficiency refers to the practice of using energy more efficiently, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved performance.

Incandescent light bulbs are not energy-efficient appliances as they consume more energy and produce less light compared to other options.

Power is the term used to describe the amount of energy consumed by a device or system per unit of time.

Power factor is not a common energy efficiency metric. It is a measure of the efficiency of electrical power transmission.

Energy efficiency is the term used to describe the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input.

Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is not a common energy efficiency program. It is a policy that requires utilities to generate a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable energy sources.

Energy management is the term used to describe the practice of using energy more efficiently and reducing energy consumption.
