- Energy conversion - process of converting energy from one form to another
- Enthalpy
- Erg - (symbol "erg") unit of energy and mechanical work in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units
- EU energy label
- Fill factor - defined as the ratio of the maximum power (Vmp x Jmp) divided by the short-circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) in light current density - voltage (J-V) characteristics of solar cells.
- Foe (unit of energy) - unit of energy equal to 1044 joules
- Foot-pound - (symbol ft·lbf or ft·lbf) is an Imperial and U.S. customary unit of mechanical work, or energy, although in scientific fields one commonly uses the equivalent metric unit of the joule (J). There are approximately 1.356 J/(ft·lbf).

- Gray (unit) - (symbol: Gy), is the SI unit of energy for the absorbed dose of radiation. One gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. One gray equals 100 rad, an older unit.
- Heat
- Internal energy - (abbreviated E or U) is the total kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the total potential energy associated with the vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules.
- Ionization energy - the (IE) of an atom is the energy required to strip it of an electron.
- Joule - (symbol J, also called newton meter, watt second, or coulomb volt)
- Kilowatt-hour - (symbol: kW·h) corresponds to one kilowatt (kW) of power being used over a period of one hour.
- Kinetic energy
- Mass driver
- Mass-energy equivalence - where mass has an energy equivalence, and energy has a mass equivalence
- Net energy gain
- Photoelectric effect
- Planck energy
- Potential energy - (U, or Ep), a kind of scalar potential, is energy by virtue of matter being able to move to a lower-energy state, releasing energy in some form
- Power beaming - Moving energy from one place to another through "empty space" (or air)
- Power factor - of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power.
- Primary_energy - Energy contained in raw fuels and any other forms of energy received by a system as input to the system.
