Energy Efficiency and Health

American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy in cooperation with Physicians For Social Responsibility publish a fact sheet highlighting positive impacts of energy efficiency on health.

Reducing the waste of energy by using new technologies and best practices help producing better level of services, such as light or temperature control.

Lowering the amount of energy we waste reduces our need to burn coal and other fossil fuels to generate electricity. Those reductions in pollution mean big gains for health, as pollutants from fossil fuel combustion contribute to four of the leading causes of death in the United States: cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, heart disease, and stroke. These pollutants damage all the major organ systems in the body.
