the amount of energy used in producing a certain amount of output. The aim is to achieve more output with the same (or even less) amount of input. Typically, the improvements adopted are generally achieved by implementing a more efficient technology or production processes to reduce energy losses. For instance, compact fluorescent lights use one-third the energy of incandescent lights and may last 6 to 10 times longer.\u00a0<\/p><p>Over the past decade, many countries have set ambitious targets on renewable energy, looking at non-fossil-fuel sources as a way to boost their supply. However, equally important is the need to curtail the demand for energy, and manage energy usage efficiently instead of just finding more sources of energy.\u00a0<\/p><p>Electricity and gas prices have been climbing steadily. In countries like Singapore and the Philippines where electricity costs are not subsidized, this cost has a huge impact on operational expenses. A study published by the OECD recently predicted Brent crude oil prices almost doubling by 2020 . The report came as the EIA forecasted a steady rise in oil prices leading to 2040 . This should come as no surprise to many companies as their utility bills arrive every month. Companies face a multitude of challenges today. To survive competition, companies know they need to remain efficient, cost-competitive and versatile in doing business \u2013 CEOs, operations and finance directors are continually reviewing their expenses.\u00a0<\/p><p>Up until a few years ago, energy was seen as a fixed-cost item, much like rental and overheads. Amidst efforts to reduce expenses, energy simply did not stand out as an opportunity for cost-saving. However, high energy costs have increasingly become a striking item on the income statement, directly affecting business profitability. This has compelled many companies to take calculated steps to manage and improve their energy consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99ed6bd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"99ed6bd\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aec0a3 mem-btn elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5aec0a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seas.org.sg\/SME3\/index.php\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More &amp; Get STARTED<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry Development Trade Missions Business Missions Case Studies SME Energy Efficiency Initiative Sustainable Laboratories Steps to save energy cost and increase productivity.
