IIntroductionObjectives <strong>of</strong> preliminary auditIssues <strong>of</strong> sustainable development have become one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important globaltopics nowadays, especially in <strong>the</strong> fields <strong>of</strong> energetics and economy. This subject matteris directly related to inability to provide enough energy, and on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side, topollution and global warming caused by exceeded and irrational consumption <strong>of</strong> energy.Global economy crisis affects all world regions and countries, as well as alleconomic sectors, putting in <strong>the</strong> first plan <strong>the</strong> crucial role <strong>of</strong> sustainability concept andenergy efficiency in <strong>the</strong> long-term strategic planning <strong>of</strong> economic and politicaldevelopment.Struggle with energy resources availability consequently increases price <strong>of</strong>conventional energy resources, making existing, inadequately monitored, energyconsumption inapplicable in <strong>the</strong> future.<strong>Energy</strong> efficiency is defined as efficient use <strong>of</strong> energy in all aspects <strong>of</strong> finalconsumption: industry, transport, services, agriculture and buildings. <strong>Energy</strong> efficiencyis absolutely favourable to simple reduction <strong>of</strong> energy used, since it requires no usagerestraint and it doesn’t compromise basic living and working conditions.Buildings are major specific energy user, demonstrating upward tendency triggeredby both population increase as well as improved standard <strong>of</strong> living. Inside <strong>the</strong> EuropeanUnion buildings consume 41% <strong>of</strong> total energy usage, more than industry with agricultureand services (31%) and transport (28%). On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, this fact also suggests thatbuildings have <strong>the</strong> greatest potential for energy consumption decrease.The main objective <strong>of</strong> this report is to provide a preliminary general insight <strong>of</strong> schoolbuildings’ available resources and possibly locate areas where improvement is possible.Additionally, <strong>the</strong> goal would be to identify major problem areas, to suggest brieflypossible corrective measures, and to provide estimates <strong>of</strong> implementation cost,potential cost savings and investments’ payback periods. In <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> this auditingphase, a list <strong>of</strong> energy conservation measures should be recommended. With dataobtained from <strong>the</strong> preliminary audit, we expect that decision makers would be able toprioritize energy-efficiency projects, being aware that this level <strong>of</strong> detail is not sufficientfor making a final decision on implementation <strong>of</strong> proposed measures.4
