GUIDANCE MANUAL ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY SAVING ENERGY – SAVING FUTURE 2014 - 2015 This publication has been produced within the project ‘Student with Initiative: Vector of Energy Saving’ implemented by the Agency for Private Initiative Development in collaboration with the Executive Committee of Ivano-Frankivsk City Council (Ukraine) and the Municipality of Lublin City (Poland). The overall project’s goal was to encourage proactive youth of Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine and Lublin Voivodeship of Poland to initiate and implement innovations as well as to launch cross-border cooperation in the energy saving sector. The project ‘Student with Initiative: Vector of Energy Saving’ was implemented within the framework of the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007-2013 (www.pl-by-ua.eu) and Partnership. The European Union consists of 28 member states, which have decided to gradually link together their know-how, resources and destinies. Together, during a 50-year period of enlargement, they have built a zone of stability, democracy and sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity, tolerance and individual freedoms. The European Union is committed to sharing its achievements and its values with countries and people beyond its borders. The European Commission is the EU’s executive body.

The main goal of the project was to encourage proactive youth of Ivano-Frankivsk Region and Lublin Voivodeship to initiate and implement innovations as well as to establish cross-border cooperation in the field of energy saving. Therefore, while preparing this publication the authors aimed at promoting energy efficiency tools and informing of renewable energy to a wide array of proactive student youth interested in learning about innovations in the field of energy saving and the use of renewable energy sources in Ukraine and Poland. The project team is convinced that it is the young generation, who with their fresh thinking, creativity and no fear of the future will manage to solve numerous problems accumulated by their predecessors and related to the loss of natural resources. That is why gaining up to date knowledge, the ability to generate new ideas and the possession of the tools in order to introduce these ideas into the environment and energy saving sectors by the young people are the crucial factors of ensuring the Europe’s future energy safety. Thus, we expect the publication to assist the students of secondary schools and higher educational institutions with learning the principles of energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources. Proactive young people will like practically all chapters of this manual. They will help them to understand the technical features of green energy generators and learn about the legal prerequisites and state incentives to use green energy. 2
