Energy Efficiency

Energy is a measure of system‟s ability to do work. The need for energy in all sectors of life which include industry, transportation, hospital, home, etc, cannot be over-emphasized. This is because of its universal importance to mankind. The use of energy pervades every aspect of modern society but it is not efficiently used in many sectors of life. In view of this, there is an incessant increase in fuel costs; energy efficiency studies are thus rapidly becoming more important. Considering the population of Nigeria and quantity of power supply, there should be need for energy efficiency. This paper assesses alternative fuels, energy conservation, building design, appliances, industry and vehicles.
