‘They’re starting to see themselves as a part of the solution after participating in the program.'

Schneider Electric unveiled a series of updates targeting digital infrastructure energy efficiency, including partnering with Nvidia on liquid-cooled data centre designs.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is fundamentally reshaping the data center landscape. Sectors including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and transportation are beginning to leverage sophisticated predictive algorithms, and as AI models continue to mature and organizations strive to process growing datasets, data centers must rapidly scale to support increasingly complex workflows.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has underscored the EU’s vulnerability to external energy supplies. Europe’s reliance on imported fossil fuels is a liability, not only environmentally but also geopolitically. Prioritising energy efficiency alongside renewable energy and electrification is essential to reducing this dependence. The Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle holds the potential to strengthen security and resilience aiming at prioritising energy efficiency wherever it is the most cost-effective solution, ensuring that energy needs are met sustainably and economically.

To accelerate the transition to net-zero carbon emissions, the Malaysian government is set to implement the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) next year, initially targeting buildings of large energy consumers in the manufacturing and commercial sectors.

IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol and European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen today announced that they will co-host the IEA’s 10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency in Brussels, Belgium, on 12-13 June 2025.

The European Commission is preparing technical specifications for a study to develop a measurement framework for the energy efficiency of general-purpose AI models. Data centres’ share of global energy consumption is expected to grow to 7% by 2030.

The government is to consult on a range of measures that it says will improve efficiency and save money for households buying gas boilers and heat pumps, including hybrids, and their controls.

The Government Office has urged the Ministry of Industry and Trade to focus on the Law for submission to the National Assembly for approval during the 9th session (June 2025), following a one-session legislative process.

India is a compelling example of proactive engagement in energy efficiency pointing to an encouraging reality: By working with existing technologies and a resolve to change a we can build a sustainable future.

As buildings get smarter, AI can unlock critical insights for energy efficiency.

New research from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) finds that Texas households that swap out inefficient electric resistance heaters for heat pumps would save an average of more than $300 in utility bills annually. Switching the quarter of Texas houses and apartments that rely on electric resistance heating to heat pumps would reduce peak winter electricity demand by an amount equivalent to the output of 40 new gas-fired power plants. The report calls for Texas policymakers, regulators, and utilities to encourage heat pump adoption at the time existing central air conditioners need to be replaced.

Rising energy costs and impending regulations push landlords and tenants to rethink housing strategies.
