The industry has promised to do several things, including better manage chronic diseases, streamline claims processing, aggregate performance data and implement other efficiency measures.
And over the coming two decades, where we can expect even more ICT-driven efficiency gains, the EIA still forecasts a 16% aggregate rise in electric demand.
When coupled with progress in the housing industry and resilient consumer demand these are key elements in shaping the profile of aggregate demand and supply in the US as well as pinpointing the improved efficiency in the allocation of resources.
Needless to say, even modest efficiency gains in the built environment typically translate into massive energy savings and emissions reductions in the aggregate.
