All right, that's a sort of grand title, but that's what I plan to do at this page over the next many months - provide a whole lot of news, resources and more on all types of energy efficiency topics.. My work is mostly into renewable energy, but of late I have come to the conclusion that energy efficiency is the lowest hanging fruit amongst all cleantech domains... So, off I go!

Narsi shared an update Industrial Energy Efficiency Document - Energy Efficiency Encyclopedia 1 year ago
An old 1993 report, but an excellent one all the same...while some of the processes are likely to have changed, the detailed document provides a good idea of the various aspects of energy usage in industries. A good primer for those wishing to understand where and in what form energy is used in industries
