The paper reflects investigations into the management methods for raising the efficiency of the processes of the use of energy under the conditions of Latvia. It justifies the fact that the model ISO 14001 of the ecological management system can be used for the management of the processes of raising energy efficiency. The impact of the energy efficiency management system is shown on raising the energy efficiency of an industrial enterprise. Certification of the energy efficiency of buildings is treated as an important management method of raising energy efficiency by means of improved methods of the energy audit. The studies of the choice of the energy efficiency management methods indicate the priority role of the institutional and financial support of the management methods. In the next decade the development of the energy efficiency management methods will be essentially influenced by the EU Directive 2006/32/EC. The directive not only provides for the reduction of energy supply in all the EU countries till the year 2016 by 9.4% (in contrast to the averahe consumption during the last 5 years); but also points to the development of the management methods of raising energy efficiency in order to achieve the targets set by the directive. The work contains evaluation of the management methods of energy efficiency under the conditions of Latvia, which is a new EU member state with her own specificity in the infrastructure development and its management.
