This paper examines an ontological approach to integrating knowledge to support interdisciplinary studies in energy and ecology in terms of quality of life assessment. These studies involve the integration of environmental and social components. The environmental component is determined by natural and climatic conditions and the state of elements of the natural environment of a particular territory. The social component implies meeting the demand of the population for electricity and heat, which are necessary for comfortable living. To compare the positive and negative impacts of the operation of energy facilities on the natural environment and the population, quality of life metrics are considered as a way to assess these impacts. We present ontologies detailing the basic concepts of the subject area of research on the anthropogenic impact of energy facilities and quality of life, and reflecting their integration into a single ontological space of knowledge. The use of the ontological approach provides a visual representation and integration of knowledge from different subject areas.
