The amount of energy wasted was absurd.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSo much has changed for the better.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor decades, we have refined how light bulbs brighten our homes and air conditioners cool our buildings. Today, most of our appliances are more energy efficient than ever \u2013 and this has made our lives better. Between environmental, health and financial savings, the energy efficiency gains we\u2019ve scored in recent decades are a win for everyone.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith <\/span>rollbacks of efficiency standards<\/span><\/a> cropping up in the headlines, it\u2019s important to review just how far we\u2019ve come \u2026 and how much better energy efficiency has made our lives.<\/span>\r\n

We have made household utilities and appliances more energy efficient<\/b><\/h3>\r\nIn the past 40 years, average energy use per household has significantly decreased \u2013 by over 37 million Btu per home to be exact, which is enough energy to power roughly 20 traditional 60-watt lightbulbs for 24 hours for an entire year.[1] This is largely explained by <\/span>improvements<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>energy efficiency<\/span><\/a>, meaning we\u2019re using appliances and equipment that consume less energy to get the same job done.<\/span>\r\n\r\nTotal residential energy use in the U.S. has <\/span>risen<\/span><\/a> steadily, if slowly, since 1980 \u2013 from 9.9 quadrillion Btu to 11.2 quadrillion Btu in 2024. This comes as no surprise; more homes have been built since then, and these homes are larger and contain more energy-using machines. But this number would be dramatically higher if it weren\u2019t for increasingly efficient everyday household amenities.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLook at light bulbs for example: For more than a century, American homes were lit with the familiar glow of traditional incandescent bulbs. However, these bulbs wasted about <\/span>90% of the energy they used as heat<\/span><\/a> \u2013 only 10% of it was actually used to produce light.<\/span>\r\n\r\nToday, households commonly light their kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms with <\/span>LED<\/span><\/a> bulbs, which use at least 75% less energy and can last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Between 2015 and 2020 \u2013 a span of just five years \u2013 U.S. households shrunk lighting electricity consumption from about <\/span>130.6 billion<\/span><\/a> kWh to <\/span>80.8 billion<\/span><\/a> kWh total. Within the same timeframe, the number of households that had installed at least one LED bulb tripled \u2013 from <\/span>33.8 million<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>101.85 million<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLight bulbs are just one device that helps to illuminate the bigger picture: Innovations in technology \u2013 coupled with energy efficiency standards and incentives that have moved those new technologies into the marketplace \u2013 have enabled households to achieve unprecedented levels of energy efficiency. Tally up the efficiency upgrades that have been made to all of our everyday home appliances \u2013 dishwashers, clothes dryers, water heaters and more \u2013 and the story multiplies.<\/span>\r\n

How have Americans benefitted from energy efficiency?<\/b><\/h3>\r\nBesides reducing our consumption of energy, Americans have enjoyed the benefits that energy efficiency has delivered for our environment, health and household finances.<\/span>\r\n\r\nImprovements in energy efficiency translate into direct monetary savings, reducing many families\u2019 energy bills. If it weren\u2019t for energy efficiency measures, Americans would have spent about <\/span>$800 billion more<\/span><\/a> on their energy bills \u2013 or $2,500 per capita \u2013 in 2014. National energy savings from energy efficiency in that year amounted to <\/span>58 quadrillion Btu<\/span><\/a>, which is over half of today\u2019s national annual energy use.[2]<\/span>\r\n\r\nLessening energy demand through efficiency measures has also been increasingly critical in relieving pressure on the earth\u2019s already scarce resources, like fossil fuels, which are used to produce electricity and fuel. Efficiency and fuel economy standards in cars are a shining example. From 1975, <\/span>Corporate Average Fuel Economy<\/span><\/a> (CAFE) standards and other factors have helped the country avoid consuming <\/span>roughly 2 trillion gallons<\/span><\/a> of gasoline by requiring that vehicles be more fuel-efficient. That\u2019s approximately<\/span> 15 years<\/span><\/a> of present-day gasoline consumption.[3]<\/span>\r\n\r\nBy using less fossil fuel energy, we\u2019re also <\/span>cutting down on the greenhouse emissions<\/span><\/a> and air pollution produced by cars and power plants. The pollutants they release contribute to all kinds of <\/span>health problems<\/span><\/a>, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and <\/span>environmental harms<\/span><\/a> such as smog and climate change. In fact, CAFE standards have saved <\/span>17 billion tons<\/span><\/a> of greenhouse gas emissions from entering earth\u2019s atmosphere \u2013 more than two and a half years\u2019 worth of total U.S. emissions.[4]<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnother proven example of energy efficiency\u2019s environmental benefits comes from <\/span>Energy Star<\/span><\/a>, an EPA program that promotes products meeting efficiency standards. Since its creation, it has helped prevent the release of <\/span>4 billion metric tons<\/span><\/a> of greenhouse emissions \u2013 which is equivalent to the emissions produced by <\/span>933 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles<\/span><\/a> in a year. In 2020, the program\u2019s energy savings averted the release of <\/span>hundreds of thousands of tons<\/span><\/a> of pollutants like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into our air \u2013 totaling an estimated<\/span> $7 billion to $17 billion<\/span><\/a> in public health benefits.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHousehold energy efficiency upgrades also make living indoors safer and more comfortable. Weatherizing homes \u2013 whether through improving heating systems, insulation or ventilation \u2013 can <\/span>protect them<\/span><\/a> from dampness, mold, mildew and pests all while <\/span>improving <\/span><\/a>indoor air quality. Efficiency upgrades can alleviate health and well-being concerns that stem from these hazards, for example, reducing <\/span>allergy, cold and asthma symptoms<\/span><\/a>, and even preventing asthma-induced hospitalizations and emergency room visits. One study estimated that weatherizing single-family and mobile homes produced <\/span>over $1.1 billion<\/span><\/a> in health-related benefits. Households saved costs from avoiding asthma and thermal stress-related complications, alongside reduced instances of carbon monoxide poisoning and house fires.<\/span>\r\n

Let\u2019s keep up our energy efficiency momentum<\/b><\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s possible today to use much less energy than was required in 1980 to power the same home. This is no accident \u2013 we have efficiency standards, consumer education programs and energy guide labels to thank.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSince the 1970s, energy efficiency standards have been a <\/span>mainstay of U.S. energy policy<\/span><\/a>. Laws that govern energy conservation of household appliances and consumer products \u2013 such as the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 or the Energy Policy Act of 1992 \u2013 and programs like Energy Star have pushed energy efficiency forward. States have established <\/span>their own policies and programs<\/span><\/a> that have built on these federal efforts.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEfficiency standards, building codes, test procedures and certification requirements don't just save consumers energy \u2013 they translate into massive environmental, health and financial gains. Going backwards on energy efficiency standards means undermining decades of innovation that have made our lives better by reducing waste, saving money, protecting health and cutting pollution.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEnergy efficiency provides a path toward a cleaner, healthier future. Now is not the time to reverse course.<\/span>\r\n
