This fact leads to necessity of finding ways to enhance its energy efficiency. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problems of energy conservation and energy efficiency are the subject of research of following scientists S. Bevz, M. Bulgakov, V. Jiang, Dzhedzhula D. Zerkalov M. Kovalko, A. Komelina, O. Lyakhov, V. Mikitenko, A. Suhodolya, I. Sotnyk and others. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining.

The effectiveness of the state and local energy efficiency programs implementation is being analyzed. The authors determine the main obstacles to the energy efficiency measures implementation by citizens and define ways of overcoming them. The researchers reveal a contradiction between guaranteeing social protection and incentives to implement energy efficiency measures and suggest the mechanism of converting subsidies to investments in energy efficiency of the housing stock. Conclusions. The proposed activities will: boost public investment in housing energy efficiency, reduce household spending on housing and communal services, reduce expenditures of the state budget for financing the subsidies and purchasing energy.
