Energy Efficiency First

Energy Efficiency First (EEF) is an international Open Access journal dedicated to the study and advancement of energy efficiency as the "First Energy" in support of achieving NetZero through energy and economic transitions. The journal aims to present research in the fields of science, engineering, technology, artificial intelligence (AI), economics, policy, and management to improve energy efficiency under the constraints of carbon and GHG emissions for sustainable and inclusive development.

EEF encourages the use of First Principles thinking to discover, establish, and validate higher level generalized laws and principles through diverse research and applications into complex adaptive systems; to develop and improve engineering and management methodologies and tools; and to provide developmental guidance and predictive capabilities for technologies, economics, and policies.

EEF publishes original research, reviews, and case studies within the sectors of:

• energy and power

• digital economy

• transportation

• industry

• buildings

• agriculture

• natural restoration, and

• in application scenarios from cities, rural areas, islands, factories, information and communication infrastructure to deep seas, space et al.

The journal will regularly invite contributions and publish reviews of energy efficiencies from leading thinkers and practitioners in their respective subject domains.

EEF strives to achieve integrations across fields and disciplines for higher efficiencies and remains dedicated to differentiations and innovations that enrich knowledge and civilization.
