Abstract
The changing approach towards energy, increasingly regarding it as a comodity that needs to be reassessed in terms of its value, is visible throughout the modern world. This change can also be seen at the community level, with local governments and citizens being impacted by rising fuel prices and issues of energy scarcity and stability. The need for sufficient and affordable energy, as elements of energy security, are among others leading to a review of local resources, developing new concepts for generating and using energy more efficiently, considering how people as energy users should change their lifestyles.
