• companies to cut energy use in commercial buildings
• further reductions in the energy used by household appliances
• more efficient power and heat generation
• energy-efficiency requirements for industrial equipment
• energy audits and management for large companies
• rolling out smart grids and meters, giving consumers ways to cut energy use and calculate their savings
