Modern society, despite products becoming more energy efficient, is still demanding more energy. Society wishes to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, but renewables will only be able to satisfy some of the energy demands. By reducing energy consumption this makes that goal a lot more achievable. We can either make moderate changes to society now, balancing our accustomed lifestyle with sustainability, or leave it until later when changes to our lifestyle will have to be more drastic. Drastic changes could include retrofitting houses. So by making homes more energy efficient now will save money and energy in the longer run.
