Energy efficiency is the minimum expenditure of energy needed to heat and cool the interior of a building with the added feature of making this space healthy and comfortable for human occupation. This includes air quality, moisture conditions, and lighting. The ideal energy-efficient home retains the best environment for human habitation while minimizing the cost of energy. Despite a lower expenditure of energy than less efficient structures, the energy-efficient home acts as a smoothly-functioning machine in which the equipment produces as much, if not more energy capacity than needed to operate the ideal human environment.
