Reducing energy consumption and its impact on the environment is one of the priority objectives of the European Union. Activities aimed at increasing energy efficiency in the household sector are of particular importance in achieving this goal. The aim of the article is to present tools used to inform consumers about household energy consumption and a review of literature in this field. A review of research conducted in recent years indicates that providing information on energy consumption may lead to changes in behaviour. Nonetheless, other activities aimed at engaging consumers and educating them on the subject of possible ways to reduce energy consumption are necessary (author's abstract)

Zmniejszenie zużycia energii i jej wpływ na środowisko są jednym z priorytetowych celów Unii Europejskiej. Szczególne znaczenie dla osiągniecia tego celu mają działania skierowane na zwiększenie efektywności energetycznej w sektorze mieszkaniowym. W artykule przedstawiono narzędzia służące informowaniu konsumentów o zużyciu energii w domach oraz przegląd literatury z tego zakresu. Przegląd prowadzonych w ostatnich latach badań wskazuje na to, że przekazywanie informacji o zużyciu energii wpływa na zmianę zachowań. Nie mniej konieczne są inne działania ukierunkowane na angażowanie konsumentów oraz ich edukowanie w temacie możliwych sposobów redukcji zużycia energii (abstrakt autora)
