The Joy of Efficiency
Paul Westbrook
People always seem to be short of time or money—sometimes both. Efficiency is a way to get more of both. It’s not a compromise; it’s an optimization where everything is better. It’s a way to live lighter on the planet, and to live better. It’s quality versus quantity. The primary focus of the book is energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is one of the most cost effective climate solutions we have.
This book has three major sections. If you are interested in organizing your life so you have more time and money, then the first third of the book is for you. It’s a bit of a self-help book. If you are interested in building or buying a better house, then the middle third is for you. This section is for those who want to live better for less—and with a much lighter impact on the planet. If you work in a corporation and want to improve your buildings, systems, or your work processes, then the final third is for you. This is the business process and systems section, and it’s applicable to many areas of a business or company. The process we followed helped Texas Instruments double their global energy efficiency in ten years. Marie Kondo helps you organize your "stuff." This book helps you organize your energy use.
