Abstract
Increasing attention to environmental issues at home and abroad is providing a new impetus for companies to improve energy efficiency. In doing so, this attention is creating new market opportunities for energy efficient products. There is increasing recognition that energy, environment, and economic issues are closely linked. In this era of increasing environmental awareness, U.S. companies are finding that improving energy efficiency provides a cost effective means to reduce the environmental impact of their operations, improve compliance with environment standards, and promote a better image.
