Energy efficiency: a practical way to reduce your energy consumption
In a nutshell, energy efficiency is about using energy better and therefore less of it. There are numerous ways to do that:
- Use energy-efficient equipment that does the same job as its conventional equivalent but with less energy
- Improve the building’s thermal envelope
- Optimize energy use, for example by recovering and converting lost heat
- Improve building mechanical systems and control sequences
- Use solar energy to preheat air or water
By reducing your energy consumption, you cut operational costs and shrink your carbon footprint. It's good for your business, your image, and the real world.
A winning approach to energy efficiency projects
Consuming better is great, but how do you put that fundamental principle of energy efficiency into practice as efficiently as possible? This article explains it.
Demonstrated results
We’ve been helping our customers reduce their GHG emissions since 2001. In those 20 years, we’ve been collaborators on more than 147,000 energy-efficiency projects that have kept more than 1.6 million tonnes of GHGs out of the atmosphere. And we’re just getting started—our goal by 2030, we aim to avoid releasing an additional million tonnes of GHGs, compared with 2020 levels. See how we’ve helped our customers in our case studies.

Strengthen your decarbonization strategy with RNG
After implementing your energy efficiency measures, you can continue your decarbonization strategy by purchasing renewable natural gas (RNG) to replace all or part of your volume of fossil natural gas purchases.
RNG is a 100% renewable energy source that enables you to reduce your GHG emissions from fossil fuels without having to change equipment.
By combining energy efficiency with RNG, you can go even further with your decarbonization efforts.
