Maximization of the GDP per unit of resource used
Improved sustainability (the resources not used now are still available for the future generations)
Improved trade balance (by using less, you can either export more or import less)
=> stronger currency
Increased business certainty (if you consume less unit of energy per unit of output, you are less vulnerable to price fluctuations of energy commodities)
Decrease of cost as the cost of conserved energy can be lower than the cost of energy supply
Shift to high tech industrial sectors with high added value
Geolopolitical advantages
* security of supply
* higher stability in trade
Reduced cost of environmental compliance
Reduced cost of pollution

And all of this without the need to reduce the added value and level of energy service (miles driven, °F in the house, etc…)
