Contribution to Increasing the Cost Efficiency in the Exploitation Phase of Public Education Facilities

The paper provides an overview of the public educational facilities cost management in the territory of the Republic of Croatia when it comes to facility maintenance and energy consumption in the exploitation phase. Cost rationalization and appropriate measures regarding facilities maintenance and energy consumption costs are in the focus of research interest. Previous studies have shown that the costs of facilities maintenance during its lifecycle are multiple in relation to construction costs, it is, therefore, important to influence the reduction of these costs, even in the planning and design phase, thinking of the consequences in the exploitation phase. As the educational facilities cost management cover the public sector, reducing these costs and increasing their efficiency is of wider social interest. In this paper, by reviewing the literature and analyzing the financial statements of several facilities, it has been established that educational facilities cost management in the mentioned segments, is not efficient enough, therefore, it is necessary to establish and carry research to provide concrete and effective measures to rationalize these segments. A research proposal that would provide such measures is given at the end of the work.
