Sources and Barriers of the Energy Efficiency of Polish Enterprises
Abstract
The requirement of the increase in the energy efficiency of enterprises results from social, ecological and political factors. In spite of the fact that solutions in the energy efficiency are known, a question about barrier/motives for such action remains open. The article presents the results of the research of Polish organizations of the industry sector with reference to the energy efficiency. Main barriers and stimuli, as well as a readiness of companies to implement solutions were presented.
