摘要

The quickest, cheapest, and most effective way to reduce the environmental impacts of energy usage is to conserve, i.e., to consume less energy. However, one potential pathway to reduce energy usage—efficiency—has become dominant over all other forms of energy conservation. Among the reasons for the dominance of efficiency are the narrowness andfuzziness in our understanding of what conservation actually means, and in particular the confusion and conflation between conservation and efficiency. We define conservational as reducing the environmental footprint of energy generation or consumption relative to thepre-conservation state. This paper clarifies this concept of conservation through offering a four-dimensional integrative framework. Conservation is, within this framework, an "end," with four "means" to get there: 1.) reducing demand through behavioral changes that decrease actual consumption; 2.) eliminating waste through behavioral and technological changes that remove energy usage, which engenders no gain in utility; 3.) substituting for higher impact methods of using energy with lower impact methods through behavioral and technological alterations of fundamental approaches and technologies; and 4.) using energy more efficiently through technological improvements to existing approaches. The integrative framework is presented at three levels of implementation—individual household, commercial building, and institutional—to demonstrate the power of an integrative, holistic approach to conservation. Our assertion is that the real progress toward reducing the environmental footprint of energy usage, as well as the interrelated social and economic impacts, comes from carefully analyzing and balancing the full mix of potential conservation strategies, including, but not limited to, efficiency.
