Energy stingy vs.Energy Efficient

What comes to mind when you hear the word "energy-efficient?" Often, people immediately think of energy-efficient means turning off electrical appliances, turn off the lights and even air conditioning. People think that saving energy means we have to sacrifice comfort in the building, such as central air conditioning is turned off at 4 pm for saving electricity or Iift building that only stop at the floor even. Necessary to distinguish between "energy saving" and "energy-stingy." Energy saving should not sacrifice our productivity and even had a lot of research and success stories about how energy efficient it increases comfort, productivity and income.

Energy saving should be done by improving energy efficiency. Similarly, the definition of the word "efficiency", energy efficiency means how can we get the same benefits and outputs of a product or tool, but using less energy. Energy efficiency does not mean stopping the use of energy in total. Does your co-workers ever complain about not able to concentrate when the AC is turned off early or too dim lights? Things like that are not energy efficiency, because even though reduced energy use, productivity and comfort levels are also reduced drastically. Energy efficiency actually done to improve productivity because at its core, energy efficiency slogan is "use less, get more."
