DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION METHODS MULTICRITERIA EVALUATION OF EFFICIENCY ENERGY SAVING ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF HEAT SUPPLY

Abstract

INTRODUCTION In recent years, a significant number of cities in Ukraine, in particular, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Ternopil, Chernivtsi and others. have joined the Covenant of Mayors on Climate and Energy 1 , which provides for the holding municipal authorities measures to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030. Achieving this result requires a new strategy for the use and development of the municipal energy system, which envisages increasing the environmental safety of boiler plants and thermal power plants through the introduction of innovative high-efficiency energy-saving, environmental and economically sound technologies 2 . This strategy should take into account such problems of the Ukrainian economy as: outdated technologies and equipment for thermal energy production, high energy consumption and material costs exceeding 2-3 times the corresponding indicators of developed countries; lack of modern environmental protection systems, lack of appropriate legal and economic mechanisms that would encourage the development of environmentally friendly technologies, environmental protection techniques, etc. 3 At the same time, stimulating the effective consumption of thermal energy by users will allow reduce
