Popis: Demand-side energy efficiency measures in buildings are usually considered advantageous from the environmental aspect. Similarly, the implementation of modern flexible energy-efficient cogeneration plants is often beneficial in terms of energy consumption and the environmental impact. However, the joint effects of these two approaches towards energy efficiency and greenhouse gases emission reduction are: dependent on many factors, more complex and harder to estimate. This paper analyses the impact of residential buildings heating demand reduction on greenhouse gases emission from a cogeneration plant. It illustrates realistic scenarios in which the reduction of heating demand might lead to the increase of greenhouse gases emission when an energy supply system operates in a cost-optimal manner.
