The focus for years has been on improving fuel consumption efficiency.
TOKYO-Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that the company has developed a prototype memory element for a spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory (STT-MRAM) that achieves the world's lowest1 power consumption yet reported, indicating that it has the potential to surpass the power consumption efficiency of SRAM as cache memory.

Implenia's engineers could use that virtual world mock-up to remotely track the data center's power consumption and efficiency in ways that would have otherwise been tough without visiting the location.
And it's estimated that we could probably lop off 30 percent of our energy consumption just on efficiency without changing our lifestyles significantly.

This would raise revenue, penalise consumption and encourage energy efficiency.
All of this implies that power consumption has moderately increased, server count slightly greater than power consumption, and user count much faster thus implying data center efficiency has improved in power consumption per server and enormously improved in users per server.
Between 2002 and 2011, states without efficiency goals exhibited an average increase in per-capita electricity consumption of 9%, while states with efficiency goals had a per-capita increase of only 5%.
NOte that 23% reduction in fuel consumption is due to the efficiency increase and another 5% reduction is due to the replacement of 5% of the gas by the ethanol (EDIE uses 5% ethanol).
Mr Bloomberg says the president has taken "major steps" to reduce the US carbon consumption, including new fuel-efficiency standards for vehicles.
Although the country continues to grapple with rising oil prices and experiments with expensive ways to clean up coal, energy consumption can be significantly reduced through energy efficiency.
The future energy picture for the U.S. or the planet is not constrained by the availability of supplies, either fossil or non-fossil, but by efficiency gains in generation and consumption.
It says the way to reduce paper use lies in cutting consumption in industrialised countries, improving papermaking efficiency, and using more recycled paper and materials other than wood in manufacture.
As part of its Digital Service Efficiency effort to reduce power consumption in its data centers, eBay slightly changed some of its software code so that the code would require less memory.
The Executive Order commits Federal agencies to lead by example toward a clean energy economy, and sets targets to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, increase energy efficiency, reduce fleet petroleum consumption, conserve water, reduce waste, support sustainable communities, and leverage Federal purchasing power to promote environmentally-responsible products and technologies.
By doubling the number of StemCell Media processors compared to the previous ZMS-20, the ZMS-40 delivers twice the peak media performance, while running the larger array at lower clock speeds to achieve the same performance leads to greater energy efficiency and a reduction in power consumption of up to 50 percent.
He says this will create regional jobs, increase resource security, reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, increase material efficiency and prevent carbon emissions and industrial waste - all on a big scale.
How do you align molecular biology and algorithmic algebra with a career in energy efficiency, retrofitting, solar power, power consumption, and further, corporate reputation, building trust and promoting ethical business?
Over and above this we get to the second point which is that on pure efficiency grounds we would rather tax property and consumption, possibly even incomes, rather than capital returns.
FORBES: Taxing Capital Isn't About Fair: It's About Efficiency
And with a petrol consumption of 67mpg, few cars can match its fuel-efficiency.
Clean renewables can meet at least 99% of our energy needs (especially when combined with conservation and efficiency measures to bring wasteful U.S. consumption down to levels of other first-world countries that use half as much energy per capita).
The problem with efficiency gains is that we inevitably reinvest them in additional consumption.
Broadly speaking, this means carbon footprint reporting and building energy efficiency and monitoring, analyzing, reporting and reducing energy consumption.
The basic claim is that the government should change endowments with transfers, but allocative efficiency is maximized by letting individuals choose their utility maximizing consumption bundle.
For example, data on miles traveled, gasoline consumption, driving habits, and maintenance history can help improve fuel efficiency and save families and businesses money at the pump while reducing harmful air pollution.
None of this should surprise environmentalists: Fuel-efficiency standards sparked the boom in the ultimate symbol of wasteful consumption, the sport utility vehicle.
Although the amount of gas used to generate electricity rose 82% between 1997 and 2010, increasing efficiency in appliances that use natural gas has led to declining consumption of gas per customer over time.
Energy efficiency has been touted as the low hanging fruit in reducing energy consumption.
FORBES: HP Takes A Green Step With Energy Efficient Printers
Study after study has pegged energy efficiency as the lowest-cost way to curb fossil-fuel consumption and the resulting greenhouse-gas emissions.
WSJ: The Experts: What Will Be the Next Technological Breakthrough in Energy?
Low household energy costs dampen demand for energy efficiency and most home-appliance manufacturers have hugely reduced their energy consumption in other ways.
