Perhaps the most concerted government conservation effort, next to the automotive fuel-economy standards set in the 1970s, has been so-called demand-side management (DSM) by the public utilities. Under DSM, utilities undertake a wide range of measures to encourage conservation by their customers: selling energy-efficient lightbulbs at less than cost, subsidizing home insulation, conducting home inspections to track down sources of energy losses, to name just a few.  2, record 1, English, - demand%2Dside%20management

L'Initiative fédérale dans le secteur du bâtiment vise à aider les ministères à investir pour accroître l'efficacité énergétique de leurs immeubles. Les sociétés de services publics canadiennes font la promotion de programmes de gestion axée sur la demande afin de réduire la consommation d'électricité. Les encouragements financiers s'adressent à divers groupes de consommateurs parmi lesquels figure l'administration fédérale.  1, record 1, French, - gestion%20ax%C3%A9e%20sur%20la%20demande

Demand-side management (DSM) programs consist of the planning, implementing, and monitoring activities of electric utilities which are designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and pattern of electricity usage. In the past, the primary objective of most DSM programs was to provide cost-effective energy and capacity resources to help defer the need for new sources of power, including generating facilities, power purchases, and transmission and distribution capacity additions. However, due to changes that are occurring within the industry, electric utilities are also using DSM as a way to enhance customer service. DSM refers to only energy and load-shape modifying activities that are undertaken in response to utility-administered programs. It does not refer to energy and load-shape changes arising from the normal operation of the marketplace or from government-mandated energy-efficiency standards.  1, record 2, English, - demand%2Dside%20management

La maîtrise de la demande d'électricité (MDE) est un ensemble de technologies et de méthodes visant à optimiser les dépenses énergétiques des consommateurs, tout en limitant les coûts d'infrastructures publiques ainsi que les impacts sur l'environnement. Les actions de MDE peuvent être classées en trois catégories : les équipements intrinsèquement performants (lampes basse consommation, isolation des bâtiments chauffés à l'électricité, appareils ménagers et professionnels économes,) les dispositifs permettant de limiter la puissance souscrite appelée sur le réseau (gestionnaires de puissance, programmateurs,) la substitution de l'électricité par des énergies renouvelables, pour les usages thermiques (chauffage, eau chaude).  1, record 2, French, - ma%C3%AEtrise%20de%20la%20demande%20d%27%C3%A9lectricit%C3%A9
