The subject of the thesis Organization development strategy is the description of internal resources of company EcoDům and its external environment, analyzing the target market and its development. The work suggests how to optimize the business strategy. The first part deals with the theory of creating strategies with all aspects related to this topic. In the second - practical part is described the current position of the company EcoDům s.r.o., a SWOT analysis based on internal and external analysis and suggested adaption of corporate strategy for better profitability and business performance.

Energy Performance Contracting is an energy saving method, when the supplier guarantees a certain minimal level of energy savings to the customer, as well as non-rising energy costs. The method was developed at the turn of 70's and 80's in the USA and has spread to dozens of countries around the world till today, although the rate of the EPC market development differs from country to country. The method is useful mostly for heating, electricity and gas cost savings by the end-users. In the Czech Republic, the method has been used since 1993. Until now, several dozens, or even hundreds of projects have been realized, mostly for public sector customers. This paper analyzes the current state of the EPC method usage around the world as well as in the Czech Republic, the key part comprises of the EPC principles description, based on data from real EPC contracts. The work is concluded by a SWOT analysis of the method and by a discussion of the following question: "Can EPC projects blockade the overall saving potential in some cases?" The key information source for most of the work were answers to questions sent to eight Czech ESCO companies representatives, as well as the outputs from guided interviews with four of them, which were taking place between January and May 2009.

The goal of the diploma thesis is to describe the impact of the financial crisis on financial position of czech households and to compare it with households from EU.

The thesis is focused on the evaluation of available alternatives of savings products in the financial market, in which households can increase the value of their savings. Each of these financial instruments is subject to proper analysis. A special emphasis is placed on financial planning and path for achieving financial literacy.

This diploma thesis is focused on the matter of radiation heating, thermal comfort maintenance and setting optimal operation parameters for heating system equipped with radiation panels. The research section summarizes the effects most important for thermal comfort, methods of its determination, heat exchange distribution between the human body and its environment, and technical possibilities of heating car interiors. The central points of this work are the simulation of car interiors heated with radiation panels and the evaluation of thermal comfort with a virtual mannequin. Thermal state was determined via the equivalent temperature and thermal comfort zones diagram (method by O.H. Nilsson). Forty-two simulated scenarios led us to conclude that thermal comfort is not possible to obtain with panels exuding a maximum temperature of 43 °C and the combination of several heat sources is required. Nevertheless radiation heating considerably contributes to energy savings without the loss of thermal comfort in assessed car.

The diploma thesis consists of two integrated substructures. The theoretical part focuses on classic theory of economic analyses. The practical part evaluates savings of heating and warming of hot water by thermal pump in comparison with utilization of classic sources of heat energy.

Katrincová, L. Diploma thesis. Willingness to pay for environmental savings. Brno: Mendel University, 2019. This thesis deals with the determination of the willingness to pay (WTP) for envi-ronmental saving in enterprises in the Czech Republic, using the so-called Contin-gent valuation method. Determination of WTP works with a hypothetical situation where there are environmental savings presented in the form of “ecological” ma-chine, which has lower CO2 emissions. Significant regressors affecting WTP are: the age and gender of the respondent, the size of the enterprise, and the variable that expresses whether an enterprise is willing to pay to protect the environment beyond the statutory duty. An estimate of the willingness to pay for 1 tonne of CO2 is about 12 700 CZK. The main motives for pro-environmental behavior are: the moral aspect and the sense of responsibility for the state of the environment, a better image of the enterprise, the competitive advantage and the consequence of pressure from business partners or customers.

Wrzecionková, A. Factors influencing household savings in the chosen countries of EU. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2019. This diploma thesis investigates factors influencing the saving rate in selected countries of the European Union, specifically in countries of the Czech Republic, France and Great Britain. This work deals not only with the identification of factors that may be common to each joint but also with the differences that contribute to differences in saving rates. This diploma thesis will focus more closely on the im-pact of population aging on savings as one of the determinants. By identifying de-terminants, it is then possible to analyse through regression analysis those factors that have a demonstrable effect on the savings rate in a particular country. This survey allows for a cross-country comparison where it is possible to compare indi-vidual factors between countries and to analyse possible matches and differences.

The thesis "Who saves or does not save the energy: Uncovering the reasons for practicing energy-saving activities in households" identifies the segments which tend to (not) perform selected household energy saving activities and discover the reasons behind the (non) practicing these activities. The author uses both quantitative and qualitative approach. By quantitative approach, the author analyzes data from pilot project PURGE in order to identify segments which are more likely to do selected activities. Emphasis is placed on class position. The author's own qualitative survey by semi-structured interviews identifies the reasons behind this activities. Generally, the author discovered that the upper classes practice energy- saving activities more often than the lower classes which is consistent with findings that lower classes tend to perform habitual behavior and rely on technology and upper classes tend to calculate and study the effect of these activities. Among lowest educational category are (compared with other educational groups) more people who leave always or often turned on the television or radio, even when no one is watching. Women state more likely than men that they never turn down heating when leaving home for more than four hours, what corresponds to findings that arise from...
