Sažetak
The sustainability of the cities greatly depends of the way the energy is utilised and managed. Hence the energy management plays one of the major roles in achieving sustainable future of the cities. The Energy Management System (EMS) on the level of the city based on applied human, organizational and technical measures provides and represents the excellent polygon for development of all needed skills and knowledge that are crucial for increase of energy efficiency and sustainability of the cities. The fully implemented EMS assumes that knowledge gathered through continuous energy management in the city is disseminated to the citizens, thus initiating the learning process and behavioural changes and expanding the potential of reduction of energy consumption from just the public buildings and utilities to the city as a whole. And potential for energy savings is up to 30 % of total energy consumption of the city.
