Abstract

The paper represents an analysis of the public policies implemented in the First District of Bucharest related to the energy efficiency. Energy represents a strategic factor for the socio-economic development of Romania and finding the best solutions for increasing energy efficiency will contribute to the objectives for durability and competitiveness in the European Union. The importance of the theme is given by the requirement of the European Union through Energy Efficiency Directive that require member states to set up plans at every three years and evaluate the progress towards energy efficiency annually. Also, for the next period, 2021-2030, all member states must elaborate the 10-year integrated national energy and climate plan (NECP), presenting the solutions in order to meet the different targets for 2030, including energy efficiency. The objective of the article is to find the best solutions for increasing the energy efficiency, having as case study the 1-st District of Bucharest. The author is presenting three solutions, as follows: multistorey thermal rehabilitation, domestic elevators modernization, individual houses thermal rehabilitation. The impact of the solutions presented in the paper are the following: decrease of energy consumption, decrease of CO2 emissions, safety increase.
