EU Endenergieeffizienzrichtlinie 2016 – Bewusstseinsbildung in oö. Haushalten - aufgezeigt anhand zweier Energieeffizienz-Werbekampagnen von zwei oö. Energieversorgungsunternehmen

Today the sensible use of resources gets more importance than ever before. The fossil fuels gets tight and we can´t do that any longer for our next generation. In Austria the energy consumption raises from 1990 to 2006 about 36 percent. For the Energy policy the decrease of requested energy is very important. That was the reason of the European Union for developing the “end energy efficiency guideline 2006/32/EG”. This guideline obligates the European Member States to increase their energy consumption till the year 2016 about 9 percent. Therefore the electric utilities were requested to make sensitization by their customers to reduce their consumption. The composition of the thesis starts with the description of the history of energy- and electricity consumptions. Afterwards there will be shown the content of the guideline with the measures which can reduce the energy consumption. On basis of two practical examples of two electric utilities in Upper Austria will be shown how the population can be sensitized due to the guideline to decrease their electric consumption by their housekeeping.
