The objective of the study: to assess the energy savings in house?holds potential, applying the measures aimed at the behavior change of the popu?lation through energy-saving direction. Methodology: the impact of behavior change of the population measures is assessed according to the criteria of efficien?cy and effectiveness. In order to assess the potential for energy savings in house?holds, the following methods, such as an experiment, the control group formation scenario, household questionnaire, were used. The questionnaire was designed to supplement the experiment, in order to gain deeper knowledge of the household, to obtain more detailed information about the nature of the behavior, to identify bar?riers to behavior change, and to select a control group of households to carry out the experiment.
