Predicting Energy Conservation in an Industry by Modeling Individual Sectors

Although active, goal-oriented energy conservation policies have been pursued internationally for over ten years, development of scientific methods to design better policies is being continued even now. These methods must take into account the inter-sectoral character of energy consumption, and thus be comprehensive, using the available mathematical modeling to formalize the problem of determining the energy reserves, and the best methods for their implementation. For simplicity, in the following discussion we assume that a national economic system is under scrutiny.
