Abstract: The subject of this research is energy saving of the served thermal energy in thermal energy supply by the producers and in heating of the objects by the consumer. The goal of this work is to reveal the potential of energy saving of served thermal energy as a tangible target of economic policy of the region. The results of this research demonstrate the energy saving potential from served thermal energy of Russia’s northern region, as well as the potential for energy saving by the consumer of thermal energy. The results of this research can be applied in calculated targets of energy saving of served thermal energy in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), as well as a method of calculation for other regions and consumers. The targets can in turn serve as encouraging motives for a more active crediting of thermal energy saving by commercial banks and/or venture funds created for these purposes. The author utilizes the method of marginal comparative analysis of actual expenses of a company in heating with normative and tax expenses. The scientific novelty consists in precise delineation of the zones of responsibility in the area of thermal energy saving between thermal supply of the producer and heating of the consumer, combination of various method in determining the potential of thermal energy saving in the region and separate objects of heating, as well as continuity in introduction of heat-saving measures in heating of objects.

Abstract: The object of the research is the differentiation of Russia's populated regions depending on their cost of living which structure has become simpler compared to the Soviet era. Today corporate entities do not take into account locality pays or northern wage rise for arduous working conditions that used to be applicable before. This leads to certain gaps in planning objective causes of the growing cost of living in Arctic and hard-to-read areas. Consequently, there is a need in better methods of analysing factors that increase the cost of living not only in the Russian Federation regions but also in administrative districts with different natural environment and climatic areas. The researchers have applied the engineering-economical method of calculating zoning parameters depending on the duration and heat introduction in different regions during the heating season  as well as the economic-geographic method of region's zoning. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors apply the engineering-economical method for calculating zoning parameters depending on the duration and heat introduction in different regions during the heating season  as well as the economic-geographic method for region's objective and clear zoning. The results of the research can be used in the process of providing a legislative framework of detailed zoning of the Russian Federation regions.
