Э нергосбережение и повышение энергоэффективности является одним из приоритетных направлений развития российской эко-номики в условиях ее инновационной модернизации, которому про-должает уделяться особое внимание со стороны высшего руководства страны. Однако проблемы энергосбережения и повышения энерго-эффективности по-прежнему рассматриваются руководителями раз-Journal of CrEaTIVE EConomy #12'2017 (December) 1366 ABSTRACT:To study methods of energy saving management and improvement of energy efficiency we've developed their hierarchical and functional classification. As the result of the analysis, we identified the obstacles that hold back creation, implementation and commercialization of energy-efficient innovations in the domestic economy. We justify the need to adapt the existing management approaches in energy saving and energy efficiency improvement to the conditions of innovative development of the economy. We outline the areas for further research during integration of energy saving management processes, energy efficiency improvement and innovation management processes within a single control loop at various levels of the economy. The obtained results can serve as the basis for improving the methodological support of energy saving management processes and increasing energy efficiency in terms of innovative development of the domestic economy.
