The main objective of this research paper is to find the best ways for electricity saving, based on the energy efficiency measurements and alternative heating solutions. Several energy efficiency methods have been analyzed such as lighting types to be used, alternative heating solutions beside electricity (thermal energy, wood, liquefied petroleum gas, coal, pellets, etc.), house isolation and biomass.The highlighted benefits are the preservation of high comfort in the residential spaces and decreasing electricity bills. The recommendations and conclusions for reducing the energy costs and usage are given based on the energy efficiency measurements (MEE) and calculations.
