Local government units have an important role in creating local policy on building energy security. Their targeted and proactive actions may result in a significant reduction in consumption of used media, which correlates with a reduction in harmful emissions and reducing their costs. In this article is an attempt to determine the impact of management actions set related to monitoring media consumption to reduce their consumption by local government units of Czestochowa. The studies include the analysis of the results of monitoring conducted since 2003, of the consumption of energy and water media based on the data transferred from the 118 educational buildings administered by institutions subordinate to the city. Determination of the factors generating tangible environmental benefits and financial results can enrich the knowledge base for possible use in other local government units but also to provide measurement in the study of human development in terms of understanding and respect for the common good.
