Research done by experts in the field as well as in laboratories has helped them understand the relationship between lAQ, ventilation, and energy. More research is needed to link specific health symptoms with exposure to specific or a group of pollutants. The policy challenge will be to raise awareness of indoor air quality so that healthy, comfortable environments can be provided by energy efficient technology. 

In sum, for appliances, energy efficiency technology improvements are not always adopted even after they become well understood and technology changes do not necessarily lead to improved energy efficiency. 

The increased availability of energy fueled the Industrial Revolution. The United States became the world s largest oil producer, and the new fossil fuels were abundant and modestly priced. A technology s energy efficiency was not a key part of capital investment decisions. Energy-efficient technology as a priority ranked well behind improved performance. 

The energy-efficient heat pump is likely to achieve a small market share for at least its first few years after introduction. Similarly, other energy-efficient technologies, as well as iioneliergy related technologies, are likely to achieve a small market share after they enter the market. 

Therefore, in this definition process intensification encompasses both novel apparatus and techniques which are designed to bring dramatic improvements in production and processing (Figure 1.8) [25]. As a result, safe, cheaper, compact, sustainable (environmentally friendly), and energy-efficient technologies are obtained. 

As energy-efficient technologies help to release us from fossil fuels, consumers will have a wider and more diverse set of energy sources, the economy will be more robust and the world more stable.
