“…The model can either maximize outputs (output-oriented) or minimize inputs (input-oriented). Similar DEA approach was used in [5], where the effectiveness of extended EU countries from economic and environmental indicators point of view was evaluated or in [6] and [7], where the good solutions for motorway underpasses were found.…”

Thermal insulation of buildings brings the social benefits mainly through energy savings. However, the risk of producing undesirable negative impacts on the environment and the health of the population is not negligible. Proper selection of the appropriate variant and product should include an assessment not only of the thermal, technical, operational, economic but also health and environmental aspects. In assessing the environmental and health impacts, only CO and sulfur emissions are often evaluated. The impact of other very dangerous chemicals released during the production of ETICS components and subsequently during the operation of the building is investigated only marginally. This aspect will be given the utmost attention and individual variants will be carefully examined also in this point of view. The public does not usually have enough quality data on the various available ETICS variants. The chosen method of thermal insulation should also be felt by the user in a positive way, which will contribute to the comfort and high standard of living.

“…Yet, economically oriented society targets at principal economic indicators of economic performance as gross domestic or national product and their growth rates (see [1], [2], [3], [4]). Hence, we can assume that if society is economically focused, environment could be actively protected only if this realization did not retard economic performance, obviously with a functional institutional architecture [5]. Therefore, in this paper we aim at evaluating economic impacts of environmental protection activities on economic growth in the most concerned countries, namely EU economies.…”

With growing evidence of natural resource depletion and environmental pollution, environmental issues became complementary to economic goals. Reduction of negative effects of human activities on the environment while enhancement of the use of alternative and renewable resources are now required together with satisfactory economic performance. The European Union made declarations to follow these goals in the Lisbon Strategy and consequently in the Strategy 2020. This paper examines to what extent these goals are fulfilled vis-à-vis EU member countries. Specifically, by performing Data Envelopment Analysis we provide an alternative way of assessing the ability of the individual EU countries to achieve these objectives. This ability is represented by relative efficiency scores of the EU members which reflect both economic and environmental goals. The paper finds that Denmark, Luxembourg, and Sweden are the most efficient countries, and also identifies the areas to be improved by the inefficient countries to reach the frontier.
