Energy efficiency is directly linked to electricity and heat consumption. The amount of consumed energy has an obvious influence on the consumption of natural resources, the extraction and use of which for energy production has an impact on the environment. Implementation of the measures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of facilities, by reducing the electricity and heat consumption, translates into greater care for the environment. The article discusses the legal conditions and possible ways to improve the energy efficiency of facilities. It also presents the beneficial impact of reducing the final energy consumption on the environment. The analysis of the energy efficiency improvements made concerns public utilities as well as residential buildings, which constitute a highly energy-intensive sector. The article also discusses the advantages and validity of using the RES systems in construction to improve the energy efficiency of the facilities. The analysis based on the RES installations showed a reduction of the harmful compounds emission to the environment by increasing the energy efficiency of the facilities. Such a process is possible because the limitations in the final energy consumption have a direct impact on reducing the emissions of, among others, carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and the reduction of consumption of the fossil fuel resources. The measures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of facilities are regulated by national and international laws, directives and regulations. Environmental protection is also enforced by various legal regulations, issued by states and organizations. As inhabitants of the Earth, we should not wait for proper orders and prohibitions, but we should take care of our planet’s future as well as limit its exploitation and poisoning.
