In the article, the researchers looked at ways to save energy by using two methods: energy intensity and specific energy consumption. They studied data from 67 industries over five years, looking at how different companies use energy. The results showed that energy savings and energy use are related: the more you save, the less you use. Interestingly, smaller companies get a bigger boost in energy performance from these assessments than larger ones. This means the energy assessments can help companies use energy more efficiently, especially for smaller businesses.
