Energy efficiency and resource saving are the key parts of the state policy in Azerbaijan. They cover all areas of the economy, including the building industry and the educational institutions. Therefore utilizing of innovative architectural design and construction strategies, energy-efficient engineering equipment and renewable energy sources should be raised to the level of the current requirements. In pursuit of this aim, examining and evaluation energy consumption in the educational buildings at their operational stage are ones of the contemporary issues and offering recommendations by the implementation the energy improvements is crucial. This article makes research to find energy efficient opportunities and then suggest proper measures and recommendations for educational buildings, what solutions can be used in schools to reduce their energy consumption. There were examined some school buildings in different climate regions of Azerbaijan. There had been performed energy auditing of them and the results were processed by software. Technical data and results for 2 school buildings in Ujar and Lankaran are given here. The recommendations for energy improvements in educational buildings were proposed by the local experts-architects and auditors. Findings can be used for fulfilling a multi-disciplinary energy audit of any educational buildings.
