Abstract
Since the early 1970s, a more rational use of energy (RUE) becomes necessary for the Western countries that are facing instability on the international market. In the European community, the RUE becomes an important pillar of the long-term policy to reduce the dependency on imported energy. But as it is an addition to national programs, it barely comprises more than an exchange of views or relatively weak regulations.
