The pro-ecological and pro-saving behavior of households as energy consumersThe aim of the article is to indicate the changes related to households’ behavior linked to energy saving and pro-ecological activities. Therefore, the authors conducted acomparison analysis of the results of the nationwide Polish research about Polish ecological awareness and identified — as part of the Polish National Science Centre NCN project called “Modelling prosumers’ behavior on theenergy market” — pro-economical attitudes of households. The first part of this paper pre­sents the opinions of Poles about the possibilities of development of the different kinds of energy sources in Poland, taking into special consideration the development of renewable energy sources. In the second part of this paper the authors describe households’ behavior connected with saving energy. They analyzed pro-economical behavior such as: switching off lights in empty rooms, un­plugging phone chargers after use, using economical bulbs and unplugging devices that are not in use. The diversifying variables of behavior are: sex, age, income. The analysis of households’ behav­ior was supplemented with the analysis of pro-economical attitudes of Wroclaw university students.

The article is aimed at developing strategic directions and introducing regulatory measures for the formation of Ukraine’s energy policy on the principles of energy saving and the development of renewable energy industry. On the basis of scientific works, the main organizational-economic vectors of energy industry sector development are systematized, which are associated with the formation of a favorable socio-political climate regarding the priority of using renewable energy sources in the fuel and energy complex; development of effective methods of both the State-based and the market-based regulation by the world community; coordination of the strategy of sustainable development of the world economy. It is determined that the energy saving policy should be based on a flexible combination of the State-based regulation and the market environment for the formation of the most acceptable stimulation mechanisms in the specific economic and political situations, which allows for the greatest economic benefit. It has been found out that the implementation of energy saving processes is impossible without the mass use of renewable energy carriers, which are a universal resource for processing to the right types of energy, are marked by energy independence related to obtaining economic benefits and contribute to the creation of an ecological friendly environment. In the perspective, the energy saving processes, the transition of the national economy to wide implementation in the production of high-tech technologies and the use of renewable energy sources should become the determining factors of Ukraine’s energy strategy.

Buildings with architectural constraints and recognized historical values require a careful design process, aiming to combine the needs of conservation and the adaptation of the buildings to the modern use and its accessibility. The feasible interventions consist in improving the energy performance of the building envelope, in inserting efficient technological systems and using renewable energy sources where possible. The compatibility between the architectural constraints of the building and its more sustainable future use represents a crucial challenge. This work presents the interventions designed and realized on a small villa located in the Prati district, in Rome. Starting from the requests of the client, the primary objective was to create a comfortable house both in the winter and in the summer season, with widespread use of automation systems for managing the utilities. In line with the current energy scenario, the interventions were oriented to energy efficiency, the reduction of polluting emissions, the electrification of utilities and the use of renewable energy sources. The proposed solutions showed high gains in terms of energy saving even if the changes to the building envelope were limited by the desire to preserve the values of the cultural heritage. Therefore, a virtuous refurbishment can effectively respond to current energy efficiency goals.

Energy conservation or energy saving is one of the most important methods for reducing CO2 emissions, which is known to be associated with global warming. Although development of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind energy is necessary, we must first pay attention to the fact that enormous amounts of energy are consumed uselessly at present. Energy saving should therefore be one of the first problems to be tackled. It may not only bring reductions in CO2 emission, but also may lead to savings in expenditure on energy. This paper introduces some of the initiatives taking place in Japan aimed at energy conservation.

There was a blackout in early August 2019, forcing everyone to think about electricity. Some expressed the need for management reform, use of new renewable energy, and promoting energy-saving behavior. However, energy saving behavior without good knowledge will make it difficult to carry out the behavior. For this reason, the community service team collected data through a questionnaire to determine the energy saving knowledge of lighting for students. Furthermore, there is provision on energy saving lighting and practice in the field to determine the extent to which energy saving is implemented in the study room. This practice is in the form of measuring the light intensity of the study room, to find out its value so that if it is not enough, it is necessary to take action to comply with SNI standards. The presentation of the lighting field briefing contained, among other things, the explanation that saving energy does not mean reducing the use of electric power alone, but rather that saving energy must maintain the quality of lighting. Based on the results of the pre test, students have a high desire to behave energy-saving by 91.3% and have confidence in the results of a behavior and an evaluation of the results of a high behavior is 99.5%. The study room illumination shows a value that is not in accordance with the SNI, which is between 125 Lux to 150 Lux. This value is far from the SNI standard, which is 350 Lux for classrooms. Based on the results of the application of this SNI, then the lighting design is carried out through simulation using the Dialux software and the installation of energy-saving lamps in the study room, so that it reaches the SNI standard.ABSTRAK:Terjadinya pemadaman listrik pada awal Agustus 2019, memaksa semua orang untuk berpikir tentang kelistrikan. Sebagian menyatakan perlunya pembenahan manajemen, perlunya pengelolaan/penggantian sistem, dan usulan penggunaan energi baru terbarukan. Selain itu masih terdapat hal lain, yaitu peningkatan perilaku hemat energi (HE), antara lain berupa peningkatan pengetahuan HE. Namun HE kadang-kadang diartikan lain, yaitu hanya sekedar mematikan lampu, tanpa memperhatikan kualitas visual. Untuk itu tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini melakukan pengambilan data melalui kuisioner untuk mengetahui pengetahuan HE kepada siswa SMA N 23 Jakarta. Selanjutnya dilakukan pembekalan mengenai HE dan praktik di lapangan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pelaksanaan HE yang ada sekolah tersebut. Praktik ini antara lain berupa pengukuran intensitas cahaya ruang belajar, untuk mengetahui nilainya sehingga jika kurang perlu dilakukan tindakan untuk disesuaikan dengan standar SNI. Penyampaian pembekalan bidang pencahayaan, antara lain berisi tentang penjelasan bahwa HE bukan berarti mengurangi penggunaan daya listrik saja, tapi lebih diutamakan bahwa HE harus tetap menjaga kualitas pencahayaan. Berdasarkan hasil pre test, siswa memiliki keinginan tinggi untuk berperilaku hemat energi sebesar 91,3% dan memiliki keyakinan akan hasil dari suatu perilaku dan evaluasi terhadap hasil perilaku yang tinggi sebesar 99,5% Tingkat pencahayaan/Iluminansi ruang belajar menunjukkan nilai yang kurang sesuai dengan SNI, yaitu antara 125 Lux sampai dengan 150 Lux. Nilai ini jauh dari standar SNI, yaitu 350 Lux untuk ruang kelas. Berdasarkan hasil penerapan SNI ini, selanjutnya dilakukan perancangan pencahayaan melalui simulasi dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Dialux dan pemasangan lampu HE pada ruang belajar tersebut, sedemikian sampai mencapai standar SNI.
