Abstract
The rational use of natural resources and the creation of an environmentally safety is a priority goal for all mankind. The increasing pollution of the atmospheric air by the combustion products of various types of fuel actualizes the problem of improving the environmental safety and efficiency of heat supply systems (HSS). Heating is the most energy intensive and wasteful sector of the national economy, because the turnover is comparable to 2.1% of GDP and an average of 50% in payment of citizens for housing and communal utility services (HCUS). However, HSS today is in a critical state at all stages of production, distribution and consumption of heat, which is especially typical for HCUS enterprises in Russia. Accordingly, the population is not satisfied with the quality and price of HCUS services. The purpose of the study was to develop a mechanism for creating an environmentally safe and reliable HSS by introducing energy-saving technologies that can improve the quality and reduce the price of HCUS services. The data analysis of the online survey of Russians in social networks in 2018-2019 is carried out. The average level of the population satisfaction with the quality of the provided services of HSS is determined.

We have identified the following tasks: * To determine the typology of residential premises in which citizens live; * To study the main indicators that characterize the occupied total area of residential premises, the share of housing and communal utility services (HCUS) expenses in the average monthly income of the family, the average monthly income of the consumer, the possibility of assessing the objectivity of the items of expenses for the payment of services; * To assess the life quality of the citizens’ living environment, i.e., assess the level of environmental friendliness of the location of a residential building
The representativeness of the sample was checked on the basis of the correlation analysis of the specific number ratio of respondents by age groups with the data of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation [31] as of 01.01.2018 and 01.01.2019
Summary
The rational use of natural resources and the creation of an environmentally safety is a priority goal for all mankind. As noted in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, in order to effectively address the challenges of a deteriorating environment, States must cooperate to create an enabling and open international economic system that leads to economic growth and sustainable development in all countries [1] In this regard, one of the key problems is the increasing pollution of the atmospheric air by the combustion products of various fuels, which actualizes the need to improve the environmental safety and efficiency of heat supply systems (HSS). The HSS analysis conducted by various researchers in the Russian Federation [2,3,4,5,6,7,8] shows that the currently widely used methods of protecting the natural environment are not always effective This situation is primarily due to the fact that the unique district heating infrastructure built by the Soviet Union about 60 years ago has fallen into disrepair. In recent years, thanks to the state program "Energy Saving", the situation has significantly improved [11]
