The built environment consists of buildings and infrastructure that touch all aspects of human life—from our houses and apartments to the commercial and industrial spaces where we work, shop, and socialize. This ecosystem accounts for around 26% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Cornwall Council is offering free advice on saving money on energy to people in the county, as well as low-cost loans to eligible homeowners and landlords.

Countries across Sub-Saharan Africa are grappling with the challenges of expanding energy access while addressing climate change. As efforts accelerate to expand access to electricity to more people in the region, adopting energy efficiency measures upfront would help avoid locking-in inefficient energy consumption.

Energy demand – how much energy we use – is a surprisingly under-explored area in the drive to cut carbon emissions and fight the climate crisis. But for energy users who take action in this area, there is “extraordinary potential,” the World Economic Forum says.

The textile and garment industry uses a massive amount of energy in the production and manufacturing processes. And, due to geopolitical events, such as COVID-19 or the Russian-Ukraine war, energy costs have been rising which has also had a big impact on manufacturing companies , including the garment sector. Combined with the global increased pressure to adopt sustainable practices, garment manufacturers are prompted to seek innovative ways to reduce their energy consumption and enhance efficiency.

The Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) market is experiencing significant changes driven by the need for energy efficiency across multiple industries.

Energy and gas costs continue to rise, leaving businesses like food and beverage manufacturers feeling financially strained. The good news is that manufacturing businesses can significantly reduce their energy bills by becoming more energy efficient.

Schools, pools, and hospitals will be supported to make energy efficient upgrades, and businesses with high energy use will receive funding to help cut bills and emissions.

Australian Energy Ministers will decide whether to implement proposed Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for lighting, including light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Bulla y Salcedo Ingeniería, Merus Power’s local partner in Colombia, is at the forefront of introducing high-efficiency energy solutions to the Colombian steel industry. This partnership has enabled the implementation of the first reactive power compensation system in the country at Grupo Siderúrgico Reyna’s (GSR) steel facility, utilizing a static synchronous compensator, Merus® STATCOM.

Lighting can account for 10–25% of your bill. For some businesses, it can be as high as 50%. The figures on this page come from our Boosting Business Productivity program. We worked with more than 300 businesses to explore their energy use and minimise their energy cost.

Homes that meet recommended air tightness levels have lower energy bills and healthier indoor air quality, with the study also identifying the factors – and rooms – that caused leakages in most new homes.

The information and communication technology sector is a major energy consumer, but it also offers the potential for savings... if used properly. Let’s work smarter, writes Pernille Weiss

The current decade is critical to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C: directing investments towards low- and zero-emissions technologies is instrumental to achieving the Paris Agreement target.

The project was commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and ran from 2015 to 2021.

Nam Dinh Forest Products Joint Stock Company is one of four enterprises selected to participate in the Voluntary Agreement on Energy Efficiency in Energy Intensive Industries.

About two-thirds of the entire primary energy reserves of countries is going to waste, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Countries are expanding their efforts in achieving national energy efficiency goals by including more recommendations and policies in their long-term climate agendas.

The pursuit of energy efficiency is a constant endeavor in our modern world, and sometimes the best solutions come from the humblest sources. In this case, a team of scientists turned to the natural world to uncover how oscillating systems synchronize to maximize energy use.

A £7m scheme to install green energy heating schemes at two public buildings is set to be scrapped. Exeter City Council was awarded £6.4m of government money in 2023 to "decarbonise" the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Riverside Leisure Centre.
