| 能源节约 | energy saving Avoiding wasting energy (避免浪费能源。) |
| 节约能源 | energy conservation The strategy for reducing energy requirements per unit of industrial output or individual well-being without affecting the progress of socio-economic development or causing disruption in life style. In temperate developed countries most energy is used in heating and lighting industrial and domestic buildings. Industrial processes, transport and agriculture are the other main users. During the 1970s it was demonstrated that substantial savings could be achieved through appropriate building technologies and the use of energy-efficient equipment for heating, air-conditioning and lighting. Most goods could and should be both manufactured and made to work more efficiently (在不影响社会经济发展或造成生活状况混乱的前提下，减少每单位工业产值或个人健康相关的能源需求所采取的策略。在一般发达国家中，大部分的能源用于工业和家庭建筑的暖气和照明。工业过程、运输和农业是其他的主要能源消耗者。19世纪70年代证实，通过适当的建筑技术和使用高能源效能的暖气、空调和照明设备，可以节省可观的能源。大部分产品可以而且应该以更加有效的方式制造和使用。) |
