This document discusses energy efficiency and its importance. It defines energy efficiency as the level of energy consumption required to provide a given service based on both technical and non-technical factors. The benefits of energy efficiency include energy savings, increased disposable income, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, poverty alleviation, and job creation. However, energy efficiency also faces costs in the form of rebound effects, where consumers increase their consumption in response to energy efficiency gains. The document also examines energy efficiency in Jordan, where initiatives aim to increase renewable energy production and public awareness to reduce energy demand.

2.  Introduction
 What is energy Efficiency
 Benefits of Energy Efficiency
 Costs of Energy Efficiency – Rebound Effect –
 Energy Efficiency in Jordan
 Conclusion

3.  Energy is the most important topic in modern life, and
it becomes a new challenge due to the great demand
for it , since the available sources are about to end.
 So we should find a new sources the take the place of
the old one ,, tthheerreeffoorree aa nneeww tteecchhnnoollooggiieess sshhoouulldd bbee
developed.
 But this development needs time , this means that we
should do something to keep the presented sources
available for more time
 This take us to our concept which is Energy Efficiency

4.  According to IEA – International energy agency – the
term Energy Efficiency is defined as :
“ The level of energy consumption to provide a given
service include both technical and non-technical
ffaaccttoorrss ””..
 technical and non-technical factors are understood

consumption light bulb is used.

6.  Although energy efficiency have a great benefits but it
has a some disadvantages – costs- which can be
summarized in rebound effect.
 Rebound effect can be explained as not accept the
same service with lloowweerr eenneerrggyy bbuutt tthhee ttrreenndd ttoo
increase services delivered.
 There are three types or ways of the rebound effect
1. Direct 2. Indirect 3. Macroeconomic or
economic-wide
that can be explained by the following example

7. The table explains the types of rebound effect such
that:
 The direct one the consumer and produce try to
increase his consumption or production using
proceeds of energy savings

8.  Indirect rebound : the money saved from energy
efficiency is used for other goods that not necessarily
have a benefits for the public.
 Macroeconomic : increase the needs on other goods
and services that may cause more energy consumption
compared to no energy efficiency applied.

9.  The energy problem is one of the most important
problems that faces our country , since there is an
increasing in the demand due to rapid increase in
population by about 3.1% as in official reports.
 In number language from 2004-2008 the energy
consumption of the kingdom increased by 12% as well
as the electricity consumption increased by 42%

12.  As shown in the above figure that the consumption of
electricity is increasing , the National Energy Strategy
was developed to reduce the cost of energy and suggest
some solution that are :
Renewable eenneerrggyy pprroojjeecctt aanndd EEnneerrggyy EEffffiicciieennccyy
programs.
Oil shale as an alternative source of power generation.
Nuclear power for electricity generation.

13. 1. Create an Energy Efficiency Fund to support the various
programs and initiatives focused on reducing market
demand and increasing renewable energy production.
2. Increase public awareness of energy efficiency
3. Provide financial incentives to energy-efficient and
renewable technologies such as tax breaks and custom
duties exemptions
4. Establish an energy efficiency award program

14. 5. Develop and enforce energy efficiency building codes
such as thermal insulation.
6. Develop certification programs for residential buildings.
7. Promote the use of energy efficient lighting in all public
buildings.
8. Implement energy efficiency programs in the transport
sector such as reducing custom duties on smaller engines
and Hybrid cars that uses alternative fuels

17. 1. Tariff policy
2. Legislations
3. Awareness and Training.
4. Financial Policies

18.  As we see the energy efficiency is a great concept with
includes a great benefits in its application.
 We can solve the rebound effect with the some policies
that focus mainly on the direct type of it.
 In Jordan as we sseeee tthhee aapppplliiccaattiioonn ooff NNEESS hhaass ccoommee
with great benefits – hypothetically- and so it will
make some jump in our working for improve energy
sector in Jordan in addition also to other projects like
the renewable energy and the nuclear power.
