The reason is that the same absolute amount of renewable energy yields a higher renewable energy share, if energy demand growth is diminished because of energy efficiency. As for energy intensity, the annual gain has jumped from an average of 1.3% between 1990 and 2010 to 2.2% for the period 2014–2016, whole falling to 1.7% in 2017 [ 12 ].
From air-conditioners and electric vehicles to humans and photosynthesizing plants, every system that converts energy from one form to another is governed by the laws of thermodynamics. So fundamental are these laws that Einstein himself once said they comprise "the only physical theory of universal content, which I am convincedwill never be overthrown."
An essential topic of this laboratory is the energetic and exergetic analysis of complex energy conversion and storage systems, especially those including renewable and sustainable energy solutions. Examples of research of the Thermodynamics and Sustainable Energy Laboratory:

Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering Center Laws of Thermodynamics The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics:If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law is the basis of temperature measurement. First Law of Thermodynamics: The change in internal energy of a closed system is
Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy. Renewable energy is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency thus: "Renewable energy includes resources that rely on fuel sources that restore themselves over short periods of time and do not diminish." Non-renewable energy is energy that cannot restore itself over a short period of time and does
