Abstract
Nowadays, there is a key problem in the development of energy conservation and energy efficiency in the Russian Federation. It is the absence of the system for assessing energy efficiency of the largest ultimate customers of the energy resources, they are industrial facilities. We can speak about the existence of the methods for classifying residential buildings or equipment as energy efficient. We can also speak about the absence of the methods for assessing the energy efficiency of the industrial facilities in both foreign and Russian practice nowadays. The methodological basis for the development of the rating system for assessing the energy efficiency of the industrial facilities is discussed in this article. The fundamental principles are presented in it. They must be taken into account when developing the rating system. The structural and logical scheme for the development of the rating system for assessing the energy efficiency of the industrial facilities is proposed. It reflects the relationship and sequence of its main elements, and it allows presenting the development process in the complete form.
Highlights
The problem of energy saving and energy efficiency is relevant for the overwhelming majority of economic entities associated with energy-intensive production processes
Taking into account the facts presented above, which state that there are no methods for assessing the energy efficiency of the industrial facilities in both foreign and Russian practice, this study considers forming of the methodological basis for developing the rating system for evaluating the energy efficiency of the industrial facilities
The industrial enterprises, meeting their needs for energy resources necessary to ensure the continuity of the technological cycle of the industrial production, should strive to reduce energy consumption by implementing economic measures to improve energy efficiency based on existing technical solutions or using promising technological innovations
Summary
The problem of energy saving and energy efficiency is relevant for the overwhelming majority of economic entities associated with energy-intensive production processes. There is no reliable information on energy efficiency of economic facilities in the required amount, methods and criteria for its systematization to ensure effective energy management have not been developed These facts are considered as key in setting the objectives of the study. There are no methods for assessing energy efficiency classes of the industrial facilities in foreign practice [6,7,8,9,10,11] This aspect showed the relevance of the theme for the Russian Federation, and for the other countries of the world. The rating systems are widely used in the developed countries in the modern conditions They are used to assess the quality of the design and construction solutions for buildings according to the criteria of energy efficiency, ecology, comfort, and resource conservation.
