Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to generalize modern approaches to the management of energy saving projects and energy investments in energy saving measures in educational institutions.

Results. The article proves that the management of energy-saving projects and energy investments in energy-saving measures in educational institutions is significantly burdened by the deficit of budgets at all levels and the caution of hardened investors. It is concluded that since energy bills are one of the highest items in education expenditure, significant efforts are being made to reduce the cost of energy bills through what we call improving the energy efficiency of municipal buildings. Applying the concept of energy efficiency leads to a reduction in the costs of municipalities to pay electricity bills and allows municipalities to use the saved funds to build new projects and improve the level of educational services for citizens during times of peak load or interruptions/disconnections from the power grid. It was proved that there is a direct relationship between the behavior of participants in the educational process, their choice of energy behavior and educational losses. In addition, the degree of realization of the theoretical potential for energy load reduction depends on individual decision-making processes regarding energy efficiency improvement in the budget sector and can significantly reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Entrants are willing to accept the institution’s energy-saving costs, which are taken into account when calculating the cost of education, only if the institution is committed to complete elimination or at least all relevant measures have been taken in this direction. That is, the institution does everything to ensure the provision of educational services in comfortable conditions, taking into account the safety of life. However, although institutions will make a lot of energy-saving efforts to implement appropriate measures, this cannot be done without lifting martial law and restoring the continuity of the electricity grid throughout the country.

Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty consists in updating the impact of the management of energy saving projects and energy investments in energy saving measures in educational institutions on the cost and, accordingly, the availability of education in Ukraine.

Practical value. The practical value of the conducted research lies in the strategizing of energy saving projects and energy investments in energy saving measures in educational institutions.
