 WHAT IS
ENERGY
WASTAGE?

Wastes energy is energy that is not usefully transferred or transformed. Energy cannot be
made or destroyed. Energy is transformed into a different form that can be used. When
energy is transferred or transformed only part of it can be usefully transformed or
transferred. The energy that is not used in this process is waste energy

Old, Inefficient Appliances
Like it or not, older appliances tend to be less energy
efficient than newer models. Modern innovations and Energy
Star certification testing has continually raised the bar on
energy efficiency in home appliances.

Inefficient Heating and Cooling Practices

Dirty filters prevent sufficient air movement. This means that
your system has to work harder to cool and heat your home.

How we can stop wasting electricity on a micro scale.
As homeowners, renters, or business owners, it is our job to moderate the
usage of our appliances. What we mean by that is: use your appliances only
when you need to. If your home is already feeling cool inside as temperatures
begin to drop, crack open your windows and turn off your AC.
The electricity that you can save from utilizing outdoor climate might seem
small, but when large groups of people join you, the change will create a
tremendous impact.
One way to stop wasting energy is to start relying on renewable resources.
Solar, wind, and hydro represent different alternatives that offer zero carbon
and methane emissions. These renewable sources are the key to our future.
Coal reserves are declining and will eventually run out. Natural gas will also
follow, even though for now, there’s still plenty left. Solar and wind, however,
have no expiration date.
The sun isn’t going anywhere and neither is the wind. As a result,
research into and development of renewable energy needs to continue
moving forward.

As we continue to waste electricity, we continue to emit more carbon

and methane into our atmosphere. With fossil fuel gases trapped in our
atmosphere, we end up with scorching summers and brutal winters.
Our globe continues to warm, melting our polar ice caps, and threatening coastal
cities that will begin to be covered by rising sea levels. Once this happens, most of
the world will become uninhabitable.
Wasting electricity creates the ultimate domino effect that can one day leave us
with a country with insufficient room for all of its citizens. So next time you leave
your home and you see the lights on, do us all a favor and turn them off 
 Testing for
efficiency
An energy efficiency test shows
that equipment meets
increasingly stringent standards
for consumption by energy-
using goods. An energy
efficiency test assesses a wide
range of products – from
consumer electronics to toys to
household appliances - and
measures how much energy
they consume while running, as
well as when in standby and off
mode, among other tests.
Regulatory requirements and
consumer expectations are driving
the demand for electrical equipment
and appliances that have been
tested and verified by an
independent third party for their
energy efficiency. Appliances that
demonstrate greater energy
efficiency than comparable
products are more widely
accepted by regulators and
consumers and enjoy an important
advantage in a competitive
marketplace.
