能耗 (néng hào): energy consumption

Running the air conditioner in summer significantly increases household energy consumption.

To reduce the factory's energy consumption, engineers improved the production process.

This new office building uses energy-efficient design, so its energy consumption is much lower than the old one.

The government report shows that the country's total energy consumption dropped by ten percent over the past five years.

Electric cars have lower energy consumption while driving, so they are becoming increasingly popular.
