DISCUSSION ABOUT ENERGY SAVINGS AND POTENTIAL THREATS OF ENERGY POVERTY AT THE LEVEL OF THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSE (CASE STUDY LIDICKA, BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC)

The contribution deals with issues of energy savings and energy poverty at the level of the residential house. The attention is focused on the process of searching of methods leading to energy savings and furthermore on the question, if some investments can create threats of energy poverty among some groups of actors. The results show that even public financial support for energy savings can cause at some conditions (rejection of financial support) serious financial problems and it can create further economic pressure on groups of actors who are potentially threatened by energy poverty.
