Sažetak
This paper discusses in detail specific barriers to establishing energy efficiency policies in Croatian public buildings that have been discovered after years of collaboration with, and field experience in, such buildings. In general, these barriers to energy efficiency policies arise for technical reasons and as a result of specific human behaviours. Although the information presented in this paper relates specifically to the geographical areas of Splitsko- Dalmatinska and Dubrovacko- Neretvanska counties in Croatia, the research can be generalised to the country as a whole. The paper also analyses the important role of the United Nations Development Programme in encouraging proactive energy efficiency policies in public buildings in Croatia. Finally, a new organisational framework is proposed to eliminate existing barriers and to establish a system in which knowledge-based energy efficiency policies are implemented by systematically realising prioritised energy efficiency projects. The research presented in this paper should also be useful to countries facing similar barriers to energy investments with long-term benefits to society.
