Abstract: Energy affects all aspects of modern life. The demand for energy is increasing at an exponential rate due to the exponential growth of world population. Advanced energy-efficiency technologies reduce the energy needed to provide energy services, thereby reducing environmental and national security costs of using energy and potentially increasing its reliability. Energy resources are not used for their own sake, but for the services they provide. These energy services are fundamental to our modern economy; they heat, cool, and light our buildings; power our industrial processes; process our food; fuel our transport; and energize our communications and information technologies.
