Abstract:

The role of environmental and energy security issues due to political issues are increasing and this stimulates governments to review sustainable energy strategies. One of the ways to reach the targets set by many countries for cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions, free competition and security of supply is energy efficiency. Energy efficiency can be achieved by demand side management (DSM) programs. DMS requires regular and intensive work with energy users and it makes a platform for introduction of DSM strategies in engineering education. The paper discusses the integration models of DSM in the engineering education, analyses the components significant for ensurance of sustainable engineering education and energy efficiency and climate change targets. Based on analysis a methodology for of integration of DSM is developed. Methodology shows how to introduce environmental specialists, students and municipality employees with demand side management in public buildings and how to evaluate efficiency of such integration. Methodology is analysed through several case studies and conclusions and recommendations developed.
