WHY THE INTEREST IN ENERGY SAVINGS?
We all need to achieve more while using less. The challenges shops face today are unprecedented - but so are the opportunities. Consider the coexistence of the issues facing our planet:
- The world has an limited amount of energy generation capacity
- The world's appetite for energy is insatiable
- While the demand for electricity will double by 2025, there is an urgent need to cut Greenhouse Gas - a by-product of emissions from energy generation - by a much more dramatic factor to avoid climate changes in the next 14 years.
