Introduction


Discussing dwindling resources is nolonger relevant today. No matter how alternative energies are generated, wehave to use less energy more effectively.

The conservative use of energy and rawmaterials is not only a major factor for climate protection, but also and moreparticularly an important competitive advantage for companies and national economies.Using resources efficiently allows you to produce more cost-effectively than thecompetition. The awareness that the best energy is the energy that is not usedis gaining more and more significance, particularly in the light of theever-increasing energy and raw material prices."
