摘要:In the modern world, great attention is paid to the problems of preserving a comfortable and safe environment for future generations. The notion of "sustainable development" in the world and national economy, which implies such a consistent development, in which the condition of satisfying the needs of present generations is met without sacrificing the opportunities of future generations, has become particularly relevant. This United Nations concept involves a balanced approach to the environment. Undoubtedly, the most important place in this concept is occupied by resources, including energy resources. Taking into account the world trend and orienting national interests, the Government of the Russian Federation fixes the priority directions for the development of science, technology and technology. Among these directions there are following: "Rational nature management", and also "Energy efficiency, energy saving, nuclear energy". The analysis of tools promoting the implementation of the state policy on energy saving, energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable development (regulatory framework, international and Russian standards) has been analyzed. Key problems of energy saving and energy efficiency of the real estate are formulated. Recommendations for increase in energy efficiency of the residential real estate are developed.
