Abstract
Relevance of the study is defined by the large-scale aspirations of the state to enhance the processes of energy saving and energy efficiency in the sectors of the national economy. First of all, this concerns the energy-intensive industries, such as housing and utilities sector. Nodal stage and formalization of these processes are the public regional energy savings that have been developed, adopted and implemented since 2010. The aim of the study is to conduct a critical analysis of management models of the public regional programs of energy saving and energy efficiency in the context of housing complex. In particular, form the perspective of the changing Russian legislation in the sphere of the utilities sector and the new conditions and requirements for the subjects of housing and communal relations and management of public utilities complex. At the federal level, this has resulted in the development and adoption of a number of basic legal acts in the field of public utilities regulations of the Government of the Russian Federation. The study revealed a number of obstacles to the successful implementation of energy saving policy in the utility sector, highlighted key weaknesses of regional energy efficiency programs, and identified the ways of their improvement in relation to the relevant processes in the housing sector, as the main energy consumer and producer.

Highlights
Since 2008, there has been serious attempts to obtain a certain impetus to the development of the Russian economy by increasing the effectiveness of innovation processes
Given that the housing complexes remain the main consumer of energy in the national economy, the main objective of the study is to answer the question on the reasons for the lack of the expected results in the housing and utilities sector
The following factors have to be taken into account: − the parameters and indicators of the quality of life generally reflected in the regional programs of socioeconomic development
Summary
Since 2008, there has been serious attempts to obtain a certain impetus to the development of the Russian economy by increasing the effectiveness of innovation processes. This was reflected in certain key development vector – promotion of energy conservation and energy efficiency in the real economy. It was felt vindicated by comparing similar phenomena with Western experience that the main reason for lack of competitiveness of Russian goods and services in the global market is excessively high proportion of energy waste in their production. The following objectives are defined for this study: evaluation of the developed public regional energy efficiency programs and their comparison with the patterns of HUS development; allocation of disadvantages of the regional programs; identify areas of improvement
