Energy use and savings

Energy saving, also known as energy efficiency, is a key concept for sustainable development. On a planet where natural resources - especially energy - are wasted, the energy savings plan appears to be a need to save available resources, conserve non-renewable energy sources and reduce the impact of climate change on the environment.

These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
