Question

What is energy conservation and what are some examples?

Answer 1

Any technology or behaviour change that results in less energy being used for a given task is energy conservation.

Explanation:

For example:

• buying a fuel efficient hybrid car uses less fuel/mile travelled and so conserves oil resources.

• changing your old incandescent light bulbs and installing new LED bulbs results in less energy being used to provide the same level of lighting - conserves electricity and fuel used to make power.
