Resources are allocated efficiently when it is not possible to change the allocation of resources... without making someone worse off. If it is possible to reallocate resources and make some people better off... while making no one else worse off, then the existing pattern of resource allocation is not efficient. This criterion of efficiency is called the Pareto criterion...  4, record 2, English, - Pareto%20improvement

The potential for improving energy efficiency may be described in several ways. The technical potential consists of all commercially available energy efficiency technologies. The economic potential is a sub-set of the technical potential that passes a cost effectiveness criterion, often, by convention, a simple payback time 4 to 5 years.  3, record 4, English, - energy%20efficiency%20potential

Les termes possibilités et potentiel d'efficacité énergétique ne sont pas interchangeables. En effet, le potentiel représente une capacité d'action, de travail ou de production alors que les possibilités sont les moyens dont on peut disposer; ce qu'on peut attendre ou tirer d'une chose ou d'une situation. L'expression possibilité d'efficacité énergétique est généralement au pluriel.  2, record 4, French, - potentiel%20d%27efficacit%C3%A9%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique
