The Podcast. Energy efficiency (EE) may well be the misunderstood piece of the energy transition. To many EE is all about money saving. In reality EE projects offer attractive returns to asset owners and investors. In the episode, Joseph Jacobelli and Jim Maguire first demystify EE and highlight examples and case studies in Asia. As usual, first the guest briefly explains how he got involved in Asia’s decarbonisation efforts. Then Jim digs into cooling efficiency in Asia. Finally, he offers some forward thinking on future opportunities in the cooling and energy efficiency space in the region.
