Fundacja Poszanowania Energii

What Fundacja Poszanowania Energii does

Fundacja Poszanowania Energii (FPE) is a non-profit foundation established in 1992 in Warsaw, Poland, operating as a Business Environment Institution focused on energy efficiency education, training, and consulting. It was the first organization in Poland to publish an energy auditing standard and has trained approximately 3,000 energy auditors while transferring technical know-how to more than 250 SMEs. The foundation has authored over 30 books on energy efficiency and is deeply embedded in EU-funded consortia projects including MSODI_FPE (2.67 million PLN, 2020-2022), CLI-MA, EDINA, RoundBaltic, E-ETAP, and BuildUpSkills II.

FPE generates revenue through four primary streams: (1) training and e-learning course fees priced between 350 and 1,968 PLN per course, (2) consulting services, (3) EU and public grant funding as the dominant revenue driver, and (4) publications and calculation tools. In 2023 the foundation launched an e-learning platform extending delivery beyond in-person sessions, and in 2025 it updated an e-course aligned with the Polish Czyste Powietrze (Clean Air) residential retrofit program. The organization operates with a lean structure of approximately five employees, indicating a project-based delivery model that scales through partner networks and consortia rather than headcount expansion.
