Saving energy has become a significant issue in the economies of industrialized countries. In the face of the changed energy situation in the last decade, Europe and the United States have established energy policies at the national and local levels. Local supply and conservation measures have been developed, with this paper focusing on the latter. Conservation measures may be implemented at the community systems level (e.g., cogeneration), or at the consumer level; (e.g., building insulation). Conservation is defined here as recovering or avoiding energy losses. The conclusion points out the obstacles a conservation campaign encounters, principally the need to raise consumer awareness. Some interpretations are made and proposals emerging from the analysis are suggested.
