Abstract
A scientific project focused on the development of a methodology for assessing energy efficiency classes of industrial facilities identified the primary research problems. The first and most important of them is the absence of a categorical and conceptual apparatus in the field of energy efficiency in industry, both in the Russian Federation and at the global level. This fact limits the definition of the system of indicators in the diagnosis of energy consumption. The study analyzed the definitions of an industrial facility contained in the current legislative and regulatory documents, as well as related assessment categories, such as: an industrial building and an industrial enterprise. The lack of unity in the definition of the identified categories, and in some cases their contradiction, demanded clarification of the category “industrial facility” as an object of diagnostics of energy consumption in industry, within the framework of an expert survey with the involvement of Russian and foreign experts in the field of energy. The practical significance of the results of the study is that the clarification of the category “industrial facility” is an integral attribute of the process of developing a methodological framework for assessing energy efficiency in industry, affecting its substantive part.
Highlights
Despite the significant scientific interest in realizing the potential of energy saving in the industrial sector of the economy, one of the key unresolved problems for many years has been the creation of tools and methods for effective management of energy consumption at industrial enterprises
The above aspects determined the purpose of this study - to identify the object of diagnostics of energy consumption in the industry, proposed as an "industrial facility", as a category planned for inclusion in the categorical-conceptual apparatus of a scientific project to develop a methodology for assessing energy efficiency classes of industrial facilities
Achievement of this goal led to the formulation and consistent solution of the following tasks: - systematization of the Russian regulatory framework according to sources relevant for assessing the energy efficiency of industrial facilities; - analysis of international standards, foreign regulatory and methodological framework in the field of energy efficiency; - comparison of related categories that are possible to determine the object of accumulation of energy costs; - determination of the category "industrial facility" for the purpose of diagnosing the energy consumption of industrial enterprises and assessing the efficiency of energy resources use
