Sažetak
The growing trend of energy consumption in the building sector has been observed for the last few decades, and when it is considered that the building is a leading sector in terms of energy consumption, there is a clear aspiration to achieve greater energy savings specifically in this sector. The building sector in the EU consumes about 40% of total final energy. In addition, 80% of total final energy is used on heating and hot water preparation. From this it can be concluded that there is a great potential for energy saving in the building sector, and one of the steps towards achieving saving in the European Union is the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU) was transposed into the Croatian legislation on the Law on Heat Energy Market (Official Gazette 80/13, 14/14 and 95/15) and the Energy Efficiency Act (Official Gazette no. 127/14). According to the mentioned legal documents, it was necessary to install electronic heat cost allocator (abbreviated HCA) or heat energy meters and thermostatic radiator valves in all residential/business premises connected to district heating networks. With the new legislation, Croatia has decided that each residential area has its own access to all networked services and its own measurement of services rendered. After the initial application of the Law on Heat Energy Market in the part of instalment of individual metering, certain deficiencies have been identified and the revision of the legal framework for the district heating sector was started in order to regulate sector relations, including an individual measurement system, in a more transparent and fair way, considering the technological rules of the system, protecting consumer rights and developing the heat industry. Up to this date, the installation of the HCA in Croatia caused a dissatisfaction with some final consumers. The analysed complaints can be classified into the following three: complaints to the excessive bill for the delivered heat energy and preparation of hot water, information requirements and dissatisfaction with the entire system of calculation of heat energy consumption. The goal of this paper is to determine the optimal legal framework for Croatia, a part of which are allocation rules when HCA are used, that would, on one hand, transpose the obligations from the EED and, on the other hand, provide a framework for a maximum savings gain for total congregation of final consumers.
