Energy efficiency is generally the largest, least expensive, most benign, most quickly deployable, least visible, least understood, and most neglected way to provide energy services. Energy efficiency has gained little attention or respect for its achievements, let alone its far larger untapped potential. The potential for energy efficiency is increasing faster through innovative designs, technologies, policies, and marketing methods than it is being used up through gradual implementation. However, till the time we start treating energy efficiency as a tradeable resource, and this spurs an innovation in business models which also attract private investment, it becomes difficult to imagine a pathway that will ensure the success of energy efficiency in today's world. Energy efficiency, as of today, needs all hands on deck to achieve success and to make a significant dent on climate change.
