Abstract

A research on approaches to energy saving through energy service contract (ESC) use has been conducted in this work. It is determined that the main requirement to the content and structure of the ESC is the existence of a list of measures aimed at energy saving and energy efficiency improvement. A procedure of efficiency estimation of energy saving measures implementation is given. The factors and parameters that affect the result of energy saving measures realization are outlined. It is defined that success of any ESC critically depends on the correct calculation of savings from energy efficiency measures implementation. The need for transition to an energy efficient variant of development through strengthening the requirements for compliance with European standards in terms of energy efficiency is substantiated. Otherwise economic growth will be restrained by high prices and reduced accessibility to energy resources. It is also inferred that providing of standardized and unified norms and approaches to the energy efficiency parameters determination requires the development of appropriate methodological framework of formal methods and documented rationale for projects effectiveness evaluation, as well as implementation of procedure for organization of measurements and verification of the energy savings achieved. The procedure for energy efficiency measurement and verification involves the inspection of facilities, energy usage measuring, independent variables monitoring, calculations, including computation of target indicators values in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency improvement in comparable conditions, as well as computation of energy consumption reduction in comparable conditions. Creation of a comprehensive methodological framework, without any doubts, will make possible energy servicing market development, increase investment in energy saving and energy efficiency improvement projects, contribute to the professional growth and realization of specialists in energy saving and energy efficiency.
