What is Energy Efficiency?

Energy efficiency can be defined the reduction of the amount of required energy to perform a given task. In the context of electrical products, energy efficient products use a lower amount of electricity to perform their intended task by limiting wasted energy or their operational modes are designed to limit the amount of consumed electricity during idle or standby phases.

Why is Energy Efficiency important?
Energy efficiency is a growing concern for both consumers and manufacturers, as lowering total energy consumption without loss of performance presents economic and environmental benefits. With sustainable energy solutions at the forefront of today’s technology, energy efficiency has become a key consideration in many layers of manufacturing, sales, and regulatory compliance.
