Summary:
The issue of increasing energy efficiency at enterprises combines scientific, economic, social and environmental aspects. The increase in energy consumption leads to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. Increasing energy efficiency allows reducing the negative impact on the environment and reducing energy costs. This contributes to increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and stimulates innovative development. Analysis of scientific publications on energy efficiency at enterprises of various industries shows significant interest of researchers in this topic. The main areas of research include: eco-innovation and sustainable development: Researchers focus on the importance of energy-efficient technologies in the context of sustainable development and conservation of natural resources. Sector Specifics: Each industry has its own specifics and challenges, and research is aimed at developing optimal solutions for each sector. Technological aspects: researchers are studying various energy-efficient technologies that can reduce energy consumption and improve the efficiency of business processes. Big data technologies, artificial intelligence, cloud technologies and other IT solutions aimed at increasing energy efficiency are studied. The main goal of this scientific article is to consider various energy-efficient technologies that can be used at enterprises to reduce energy consumption and optimize resources. Analysis of various lighting systems, heating and air conditioning systems, energy-efficient production system technologies, energy-efficient transport systems, energy efficiency management information technologies, energy-efficient building materials and structures, and energy generation and storage technologies is carried out. The implementation of these energy-efficient technologies in enterprises can have many positive consequences, such as reducing energy costs, increasing competitiveness, increasing profitability, creating new jobs and developing innovative potential. Based on the results of the research, conclusions were drawn.
