The process of energy saving and its components in the production sphere is investigated. It is determined, that the national policy of energy saving deals with the increase of fuel-energy recourses extraction, application of non-conventional renewal energy sources, maximum usage of energy saving potential, as well as adapting of the national law system to the EU standards. The need to make alterations in the Energy Strategy of Ukraine till 2030 concerning the increase of importance of energy saving control processes and energy efficiency of different types of recourses during the period of the Fourth energy-package implementation in the European Union is substantiated. It is shown, that successful control of the energy saving processes in the production sphere can be obtained by energy efficiency resulting in the decrease of electric energy consumption per product during production, the cost of the renewal energy sources and noxious substances wastes. It is noted, that according to the law of Ukraine «On energy efficiency» it is expected, that energy efficiency specifies the equipment, technologies, production or system on the whole and it indicates the level of energy resources consumption per product production. The increase of energy efficiency is obtained by the introduction of some organizational and engineering measures in the production process. Energy efficiency and energy saving are interrelated processes, which testify the level of efficiency the fuel-energy resources consumption per final production unit. Energy efficiency describes the quality processes in energy sources application, having both political and social problems, and require the implementation of new society approaches to the application of energy recourses. It is noted that the Energy Union envisages the creation of a single architecture of the electricity market, which should promote the market integration of electricity generated by renewable energy sources (RER) and increase the energy efficiency of the European economy.

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.

Abstract The development of civilisation is linked inextricably with growing demand for electricity. Thus, the still-rapid increase in the level of utilisation of natural resources, including fossil fuels, leaves it more and more urgent that conventional energy technologies and the potential of the renewable energy sources be made subject to re-evaluation. It is estimated that last 200 years have seen use made of more than 50% of the available natural resources. Equally, if economic forecasts prove accurate, for at least several more decades, oil, natural gas and coal will go on being the basic primary energy sources. The alternative solution represented by nuclear energy remains a cause of considerable public concern, while the potential for use to be made of renewable energy sources is seen to be very much dependent on local environmental conditions. For this reason, it is necessary to emphasise the impact of research that focuses on the further sharpening-up of energy efficiency, as well as actions aimed at increasing society’s awareness of the relevant issues. The history of recent centuries has shown that rapid economic and social transformation followed on from the industrial and technological revolutions, which is to say revolutions made possible by the development of power-supply technologies. While the 19th century was “the age of steam” or of coal, and the 20th century the era of oil and gas, the question now concerns the name that will at some point come to be associated with the 21st century. In this paper, the subjects of discussion are primary energy consumption and energy resources, though three international projects on the global scale are also presented, i.e. ITER, Hydrates and DESERTEC. These projects demonstrate new scientific and technical possibilities, though it is unlikely that commercialisation would prove feasible before 2050. Research should thus be focused on raising energy efficiency. The development of high-efficiency technologies that reinforce energy security is presented, with it being assumed that these new high-efficiency technologies are capable of being applied globally in the near future.

The article substantiates the necessity and relevance of the introduction of progressive energy efficiency systems at industrial enterprises. It is shown that in Ukraine in 2020 only 43.1% of energy resources are used efficiently, according to the data of the energy efficiency rating. In 2019, this figure was higher - 54%. The analysis of the use of energy resources in industry, services, agriculture and the housing sector in Ukraine, as well as in the countries of the European Union. The issues of organizing energy efficiency benchmarking for industrial enterprises of Ukraine are considered. The main attention is paid to an integrated approach, which consists in creating a regulatory framework and organizing information support during benchmarking. The experience of the EU countries in solving the problem of technical regulation of energy efficiency benchmarking and the possibility of its use in international entrepreneurship is considered. Only the main stages of energy saving benchmarking are considered in detail, which include: selection of a benchmark, comparison and assessment, positioning of the research object and determination of leaders and outsiders, grouping benchmarking partners by energy efficiency level, identification of the gap, identification of the causes of inefficient energy consumption, determination of the scale and nature of the problem. The introduction of an energy efficiency benchmarking system on a regular basis as a control and planning subsystem as part of an energy management system will make it possible to track changes in the energy efficiency indicators of the production system and its structural objects, the level of energy efficiency over time, negative trends and causes of their occurrence, to assess the effectiveness of adaptation of the best principles of efficient energy consumption in own conditions and the effectiveness of the implementation of energy-saving measures, which will contribute to the continuous improvement of the production system and its facilities.

The electricity production sector has a significant share of final energy consumption and has a huge potential to use more renewable energy sources. Over the last two decades, the European Union (EU) reform of electricity markets has had positive results, and market liberalization acts as a stimulus for energy efficiency, lower prices, and technological progress. Today’s EU policy for the development of electricity and the entire energy sector seeks to provide system modernization, stability, reinforcement of the single market, and implementation of climate change policy with an emphasis on the decarbonization of energy sources and the increase of energy efficiency. After all of the EU efforts to form an electricity sector in member states, it is necessary to assess the efficiency of the policy implemented and to identify the results achieved in shaping a sustainable electricity sector. The purpose of this article is to carry out a sustainability assessment of the electricity sector in the EU countries. A set of eight indicators designed to assess the sustainability of the electricity sector of different EU countries in 2017 has been drawn up. The assessment is made using the multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) Technique for Order Preference (TOPSIS). The assessment shows that the electricity market of Slovenia is the most sustainable, with Luxembourg in the second position in the EU.

The industry attention to the environment has been reducing lately, leading to irreversible climate change, reaching the limit of mining, and critical indicators of СО2 emissions. That is why the EU has launched a new Green Policy which includes strategic directions for energy efficiency and which is expected to restore biodiversity and slow down the pace of climate change. Thus, on December 11, 2019, there was held the presentation of the “European Green Course”, the main targets of which are to increase the level of energy saving by creating closed cycles in the economy; to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by 2050; to form biodiversity and climate neutrality. Accordingly, countries that accept the terms of the green deal policy need to review all aspects of their economy, from energy production to food consumption, from industry to transport and construction. The purpose of the article is to analyse publications in order to identify public’s awareness of radical changes in economic and ecological spheres. The article provides a bibliometric analysis of research in the field of green deal policy, energy conservation and energy efficiency through the introduction of renewable energy sources. The authors selected 337 papers which were published in 1999-2019. Scopus provided the database for analysis. By means of VOSviewer the results of bibliometric analyses were visualized in a definitions map. It allowed identifying six clusters that combine 131 terms. As a result of the research, the connection between the terms – renewable energy sources and energy saving – was revealed with the help of the constructed bibliographic map.
