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 1, French, - potentiel%20d%27efficacit%C3%A9%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique
