Abstract. The article considers the world practice in the field of energysaving construction technologies as well as the present-day situation in Russia. Also the authors consider problems associated with the growth of energy consumption and electricity generation, raise questions concerning the environmental problems of energy production. The recommendations on the reduction of energy consumption are given.The electricity production is a complicated labour-consuming process depending on many factors from world economic market situations to the power resources limitedness and negative effects on the environment. Therefore, in addition to the fossil fuel output, it is also necessary to pay attention to the measures on reduction of energy consumption and on the efficiency of its use.The energy consumption in the Russian Federation is more than 3 times as large as that in the West European countries; the RF economy is one of the most energy-consuming economies in the world [1]. In this connection, the RF Government set in 2008 a rather ambitions goal: to reduce the energy consumption by not less than 40% (in comparison with 2007) by 2020. This goal has been formulated in the RF President Decree No. 889 dated 04.07.2008 "About some measures on improvement of energy efficiency and environmental safety of the RF economy"; the aforesaid decree has been put into the basis of the Federal Law No. 261 FZ (dated 23.11
