On the need to improve the methodology for calculating energy saving and energy efficiency of enterprises

Abstract

Currently, the development of nanotechnology and the digital economy requires a deeper study of the basic foundations of the functioning of society and the economy, among which the production, distribution and consumption of energy of various types and forms are of particular importance. The emphasis of theoreticians and practitioners on a comprehensive review of the role of energy should be reflected in the methodology for calculating energy conservation in the production process and the provision of services. This article draws attention to the need to revise the methodology for calculating the energy saving and energy efficiency indicators of a company based on the consideration of all types of energy (energy, heat, mechanical, light, human, etc.) in the company's activities. According to the author, a complete accounting of the energy used will optimize the costs of the company, maximize profits, and accordingly determine the development strategy of the company in the new business environment. In addition, the financial and economic performance of the company should also be updated and improved, taking into account the consumption of various forms and types of energy.
