Energy efficiency

Renewable resources are so far less 'intensive' than conventional ones - meaning less concentrated even if there is no fuel cost associated. Because the 'gathering' of renewable resources involves extensive capital investment and collection over dispersed areas, it makes more sense than ever to invest in using it efficiently.

Because the 'gathering' of renewable resources involves extensive capital investment and collection over dispersed areas, it makes more sense than ever to invest in using it efficiently. When the tradeoffs are between capital for additional production or capital to reduce net demand for the same functional benefit (as in improving building's energy efficiency) it becomes both easier and more vital to take advantage of both sides of the equation.

KEMA has long been a leader in energy efficiency methodologies and programs for buildings. Those skills are expanding today to include the integration of smart grid and renewable resources as well as moving more and more into the transportation sector.
