The research topic of this Guidebook is the adjustment of the local budgets in order for them to become supportive of the energy efficiency projects in public services. The main goal of the research was to provide suggestions and recommendations based on analysis of the current situation in Croatia and the comparative review of the experience of selected countries. The study provides suggestions and recommendations for the appropriate treatment of financial savings resulting from the increase in energy efficiency, during the process of planning, execution, and control of the budget of local and regional governments in Croatia. The study was developed through support from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP Croatia).
