MECHANISMS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND GREEN BUILDING WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

Abstract

The article examines mechanisms for integrating energy efficiency and green construction into building projects implemented through public-private partnership. The relevance of the study is determined by the needs of post-war recovery, infrastructure modernization, rising energy costs and the necessity to ensure the long-term quality of assets and public services through life-cycle cost management. Energy-efficient and environmentally oriented solutions are interpreted as a coordinated system of institutional roles, contractual requirements, financing structure, risk allocation and key performance indicators linked to payments for achieved results. The feasibility of combining life-cycle cost assessment, net present value calculations and multi-criteria indicators is substantiated, as these tools allow assessment of not only initial capital costs, but also long-term economic, energy, environmental and operational effects. Particular attention is paid to energy consumption, comfort and safety of facility operation, environmental parameters, reliability of engineering systems and credibility of monitoring data. The article substantiates the logic for selecting implementation models, including energy performance contracts, energy service company models, availability-based payment schemes and mixed arrangements. The choice of model should depend on demand characteristics, investment cycle duration, measurability of energy savings and risk structure at the stages of preparation, financing, construction, operation and maintenance. Proposals are made for contractual fixation of the energy consumption baseline, procedures for measuring actual results, payment indexation rules and change management mechanisms. The study also emphasizes the importance of transparent risk distribution and digital monitoring for increasing investor confidence and reducing opportunistic behaviour. The practical value of the results lies in the formation of methodological guidelines for preparing portfolios of energy-efficient and environmentally oriented projects in territorial communities.
