Energy efficiency are technologies and measures that reduce the amount of electricity and/or Fuel required to do the same work, such as powering homes, offices and industries.

An Energy intensity is Ratio between the consumption of energy to a given quantity of output; usually refers to the amount of primary or final energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product.

An Energy quality is ability of a form of energy to do useful work.

The energy transition in an industrial context refers to the global shift from a fossil fuel-based system of energy production and consumption to renewable and more sustainable energy sources. This transition aims to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change while addressing the growing global energy demand.

Social engagement is related to participation in collective activities.

A method of measuring the social engagement is the quantifiable volume of activity. The picture below shows the common work of a community by pushing a stranded tractor back to their property.
