Abstract This article considers a pressing issue to be addressed by those responsible for the energy efficiency management in the Arctic Regions of the Russian Federation. It presents examples of successful solutions to related problems that can be used by energy efficiency program developers in specific regions. This article reviews the introduction indicators for energy-efficient technologies and the specific consumption values for thermal energy. The monitoring of energy-saving and improvement of energy efficiency across the economic sectors is performed using the specific consumption values of fuel and energy resources. The main causes of the excessive consumption of thermal energy include the maladjustment of heating systems, excessive consumption of hot water in hot water supply systems, low heat-proof properties of the structural surfaces of buildings, and heat losses during heat carrier transport due to the low quality of pipeline insulation.
