ANALYSIS OF THE REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE BASE OF UKRAINE
AND THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING ENERGY AUDITS
OF BUILDINGS
Abstract. The article analyzes the regulatory and legislative base for the energy efficiency of buildings. It
identifies the main areas for improving energy efficiency by improving the process of energy audit, as well
as improving the system of indicators that determine the airtightness of the building and preservation of
comfortable conditions for human stay in the room. The relevance of the work is determined by the problem
of low energy efficiency of the housing stock of Ukraine, which affects the rational consumption of energy,
necessitates the introduction of various measures aimed at rationalizing energy use in general and buildings
in particular, setting maximum permissible energy consumption rates for buildings and strengthening
relevant control. The imperfection of the regulatory and legislative base in the field of energy efficiency, the
need to develop a state standard for the design of buildings with increased air permeability, the development
of a methodology for determining the air permeability of a building, the legislative establishment of minimum
requirements for building airtightness, the development of a methodology for testing buildings for
airtightness, and the imperfection of the methodology for conducting an energy audit of a building form the
basis for further research. To improve the energy management of buildings, it is proposed to introduce
mandatory testing of the building for airtightness, which will standardize approaches to energy management
and compliance with the relevant requirements for building airtightness will lead to an increase in the energy
efficiency class of buildings.
Keywords: energy efficiency, energy audit, air permeability, airtightness.
1. Introduction
In recent years, the problem of energy consumption has become increasingly acute. In Ukraine, the
problem of rational energy consumption is related to the fact that the housing fund has about 80 % of buildings
with low energy efficiency. To solve this problem, it is necessary to implement various measures aimed at
rationalizing energy use in general and in buildings in particular, to set maximum permissible energy
consumption rates for buildings and to increase control over energy consumption.
2. Analysis of recent research and publications
The authors of [1–4] analyzed the impact of building airtightness on its overall energy efficiency, in
particular, they showed the impact of the air permeability indicator and proposed mandatory testing of buildings
for airtightness.
Ukraine needs to develop a state standard for the design of buildings with increased air permeability, there
is a need to develop a methodology for determining the air permeability of a building, there are no mandatory
minimum requirements for airtightness of buildings, and the methodology for testing buildings for airtightness
needs to be further improved, which is the basis for further research.
The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for improving the energy audit of buildings by
introducing minimum requirements for building airtightness using the air permeability coefficient.
3. Summary of the main material
In recent years, a set of regulatory documents aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings, in
particular, the design of external envelope structures has been created and is constantly being improved in
Ukraine. The set of documents was created on the basis of systematic research of energy efficiency and thermal

reliability of building facilities, taking into account European practice. The research is based on the
representation of the building as a single energy system. This allows us to determine one of the main indicators
- its energy efficiency.
According to [5], the energy efficiency of building is defined as the property of its thermal insulation
envelope and engineering equipment to ensure optimal microclimatic conditions of the building's premises at
actual or estimated heat energy consumption for heating. The law has a prolonged timeframe and is designed for
decades to come, for example, an energy efficiency certificate is valid for 10 years. After this period, a new
energy certificate can be drawn up for this building.
Ukrainian legislation defines seven energy efficiency classes for buildings from A (the highest) to G (the
lowest). The energy efficiency class is determined for each building subject to certification. The main provisions
on certification of energy efficiency of buildings are defined by the same law [5]. The law also defines such
concepts as an energy certificate and certification of energy activities.
Energy efficiency certification is mandatory for new construction, state-owned buildings with a heated
area of more than 250 square meters, which are frequently visited by citizens and all premises of which are
occupied by state and local government bodies, and buildings undergoing thermal modernization at the expense
of the state.
Energy efficiency certification of buildings in Ukraine is gradually gaining momentum. In 2020, energy
auditors issued 5018 certificates [6]. This is almost 4 times more than in 2019 (about 1300 certificates). For
comparison, in January–February 2019, this area was just emerging and included the first 4–14 certificates
issued. At the end of 2020, 6379 buildings were certified: 6022 – in the certificate database on the website of the
State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving as of the end of November 2020; another 357 – in the
Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction from December 1 to December 31, 2020. Thus, as
of January 1, 2021, about 6 thousand buildings in Ukraine have received energy certificates. Of these, almost
44 % have the lowest energy efficiency class "G", and only 1.4 % have the highest class "A". This level of energy
efficiency is not in line with Ukraine's progress in reducing energy consumption by residential buildings and
improving the comfort of people's living.
Since 2021, Ukraine has established minimum requirements for energy efficiency of buildings for the first
time (see Table 1) [7]. Establishing minimum energy efficiency standards for buildings will have an economic
effect not only for the state, as it will allow for the efficient use of energy resources, but also for home and
building owners, who will be able to save on utilities.
The exceptions to the minimum energy efficiency requirements are a number of facilities, including
individual residential buildings, historic buildings, industrial and agricultural buildings, transport, energy and
defense facilities, as well as construction works to restore certain structures of buildings and structures to
eliminate the consequences of emergencies and restore the functioning of facilities intended to ensure the vital
activity of the population.
Amendments were also made to the Methodology for Determining the Energy Efficiency of Buildings,
which is used in the design of facilities and during certification [9]. The methodology stipulates that when
determining the energy efficiency class of a building, mandatory information on climatic conditions, functional
purpose of the building and geometric (including the location and orientation of building envelopes), thermal
and energy characteristics of the building, sanitary and microclimatic conditions of the building's premises, etc.
must be taken into account. This information is not obtained because of specific measurements, but is determined
by the relevant standards and regulations [10–14], which can lead to unreliable energy audit results.
Ukraine is implementing European certification practices, including a gradual increase in the minimum
energy efficiency requirements for buildings, which provides owners and occupants of a building with valuable
information about its condition and energy consumption, energy efficiency class, and clear recommendations for
improving it.

According to the law [15], the indicators of a building's energy efficiency are the specific energy
consumption for heating, cooling, hot water supply, ventilation systems, lighting, as well as specific energy
consumption of primary energy and greenhouse gas emissions. All these indicators are estimated.
Also, Article 1, paragraph 6 of the Law [15] defines the concept of energy audit of buildings as a
systematic process of assessing the efficiency of energy consumption (use) by a building or a group of buildings
within the scope of work determined by the customer of the energy audit of the building, in order to determine
economically justified recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of a building or a group of
buildings.
In Ukraine, the requirements for conducting energy audits are regulated by a number of regulatory
documents [16–20]. They define the procedure for conducting energy audits, measuring and verifying the level
of achieved/attainable energy efficiency, requirements for audit and certification bodies, etc.
In [1], the author analyzed the regulatory base of 10 European countries on energy efficiency of buildings
and found that in the UK, France, Ireland and Denmark, mandatory testing of buildings for air tightness has
come into force. Most EU countries are considering mandatory airtightness testing of buildings due to the
growing impact of heat leakage from buildings on the overall energy efficiency of low-energy buildings. The
need for further research on the impact of air tightness on energy consumption and indoor air quality is also
emphasized.
Paper [2] presents the results of analyzing the impact of energy efficiency measures on several buildings
of different ages and number of floors in Finland, Estonia, and Lithuania. It is shown that improving energy
efficiency through thermal modernization measures, in particular, increasing air permeability, can have both a
positive and negative impact on the quality of the internal environment and the quality of life and health of
people who stay in buildings for a long time. This necessitates the establishment and further improvement of the
minimum acceptable standards for the quality of the indoor environment of a building in national legislation, as
well as the development of a system for monitoring such indicators.
In [3], the author proposes to use the air infiltration coefficient per unit area of the envelope as an index
for assessing the indoor environment of public buildings.
In [21] proposes a comprehensive approach to determining and analyzing data on the level of CO2
concentration in educational institutions with natural air exchange and in the absence of mechanical air
circulation and establishes that the level of energy consumption of a building depends on the actual level of air
Системні дослідження в енергетиці. 2024. 3(79) 65
exchange and that the ventilation component accounts for 30–60 % of the total energy balance. The results
obtained by the authors can be used to monitor the airtightness of the building and take it into account during
the energy audit of the building.
National legislation does not approve a standard for designing buildings with increased air permeability,
and state standards do not provide for a methodology for testing buildings for airtightness. Adoption of national
standards will have a significant impact on the development of the energy management system.
In [4], based on a typological approach to buildings in Belgium, a model of energy efficiency before and
after modernization was built and it was found that the reduction in energy consumption due to the repair of
window seams, which affects air tightness and air permeability, does not depend on the length of the seams. The
lack of a standardized basis for defining building typology in Ukraine makes it difficult to build energy efficiency
models before and after thermal modernization. There is also a need to develop a typology for structural
components in existing buildings that could be used to assess the energy saving potential and the relative
importance of modernizing each structural component.
In [22], the influence of temperature and wind characteristics of outdoor air on the natural component of
air exchange in different locations of representative rooms of an 8-storey building was analyzed and it was found
that in the dynamics of energy consumption of a building with standard air exchange and the calculated value,
the natural component differs by 50–75 %, which is a possible level of savings under real air exchange conditions
compared to standard ones.
Ukraine has adopted national standards for energy audit and energy management, harmonized with
international regulations (Table 2) [16–20].
The basis of the developed complex is a systemic document [8] at the level of the State Construction
Standards.
Another systemic document is DBN V.1.2-11 [23], which belongs to the class of regulatory documents
that disclose the provisions of the Technical Regulations for Construction Products, Buildings and Structures
[24]. This document defines the basic requirements for products, buildings and structures to ensure energy
savings. Accordingly, [23] formulates the requirements for regulatory documents of all subsequent levels that
are created in the field of energy saving of construction facilities during the design, construction and operation
of construction facilities, as well as energy saving requirements.
The state standard [25] is aimed at methodological support of energy audit of buildings, the
implementation of which should be regulated at the legislative level. This standard is one of the basic standards
that ensure the determination of the parameters set in the energy passport during the energy audit of buildings in
operation and the first national standards for the experimental determination of energy parameters of buildings.
According to the provisions of [25], the indicator of specific heat consumption for heating a building is
determined in the field and evaluated for compliance with the requirements of [8]. The method established by
this standard allows determining the total heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope. Standard [26]
describes experimental equipment for testing the air permeability of building envelopes and buildings, as well
as a set of regulatory documents relating to design solutions for facade insulation. At the same time, this complex
was supplemented by a standard [27] for products such as double-glazed windows, which determine the energy
efficiency of translucent structures.
The standards for laboratory test methods set forth methodological rules for determining the thermal
reliability of building products, materials and structures, which are normalized by the requirements [8].
Thus, the created regulatory complex covers the issues of standardization of mandatory energy safety
requirements, establishment of indicators characterizing the fulfillment of these requirements, rules for assessing
indicators at the stage of designing construction projects, their experimental manufacture and use, planned
operation of buildings, test methods and criteria for assessing the conformity of construction products and
facilities.
This will ensure the required operational level of domestic buildings and address the issue of further
reducing heat losses for heating buildings during their operation. At the same time, the set of documents not only

covers the issues of regulating energy security requirements, but also addresses global environmental issues
related to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions due to the macroeconomic effect of energy
saving.
Thus, the set of regulatory documents based on [8] generally covers the regulatory space established in
the EU Directive on the energy efficiency of buildings [28]. In general, the current level of the national
regulatory base meets European and international standards.
However, there are areas of construction whose regulatory support does not meet the current
technological capabilities of the industry and the realities of design and construction. These areas need to be
harmonized with existing EU regulations.
4. Conclusions
Compared to EU countries, Ukraine may be lagging behind in certain aspects of building energy
efficiency, but active reform is underway to bring it closer to European standards. Many EU countries have
more developed infrastructure and experience in energy efficiency, as well as relevant legislation and programs
that promote investment and improved energy efficiency technologies.
The analysis of the legislative and regulatory base and requirements for energy efficiency in buildings,
as well as the European experience in conducting energy audits, showed that Ukraine has taken many steps to
improve the legislative base for energy efficiency, but national standards do not take into account a number of
aspects that have a significant impact on the results of energy audits of buildings. National legislation does not
require mandatory calculation of airtightness and air permeability of buildings. In addition, the provisions of
DSTU EN ISO 9972:2022 do not clearly define the test conditions that have a significant impact on the final
result and may lead to an incorrect determination of the building class during its energy audit.
The key aspects of the European experience in conducting energy audits of buildings are standardization
and regulation, mandatory audit, financial support, technological innovation, stakeholder engagement, and
monitoring and updating.
To improve the energy management of buildings, it is proposed to introduce mandatory airtightness
testing of buildings, which will standardize approaches to energy management, and compliance with the
relevant requirements for building airtightness will lead to an increase in the energy efficiency class of
buildings.

Анотація. У статті проведено аналіз нормативно-законодавчої бази щодо енергоефективності
будівель та визначено основні напрями покращення енергоефективності шляхом вдосконалення
процесу проведення енергоаудиту, а також вдосконалення системи показників, на основі яких
визначається герметичність будівлі та збереження комфортних умов перебування людини у
приміщенні. Актуальність роботи визначає проблема низького рівня енергоефективності
житлового фонду України, яка впливає на раціональне споживання енергії, викликає необхідність
запроваджувати різноманітні заходи, спрямовані на раціоналізацію використання енергії в цілому
та будівлями зокрема, встановлювати гранично допустимі норми енергоспоживання будівель та
посилювати відповідний контроль. Недосконалість нормативно-законодавчої бази у сфері
енергоефективності, необхідність розробки державного стандарту проєктування будівель
підвищеної повітропроникності, розробки методики визначення повітропроникності будівлі,
законодавчого встановлення мінімальних вимог до герметичності будівлі, розробки методики
тестування будівлі на герметичність, недосконалість методики проведення енергоаудиту будівлі
становить підґрунтя подальших досліджень. Для вдосконалення енергоменеджменту будівель
пропонується впровадження обов’язкового тестування будівлі на герметичність, що дозволить
стандартизувати підходи до проведення енергоменеджменту, а дотримання відповідних вимог до
герметичності будівлі призведе до підвищення класу енергоефективності будівель.
Ключові слова: енергетична ефективність, енергоаудит, повітропроникність, герметичність.

The article analyzes the regulatory and legislative base for the energy efficiency of buildings. It identifies the main areas for improving energy efficiency by improving the process of energy audit, as well as improving the system of indicators that determine the airtightness of the building and preservation of comfortable conditions for human stay in the room. The relevance of the work is determined by the problem of low energy efficiency of the housing stock of Ukraine, which affects the rational consumption of energy, necessitates the introduction of various measures aimed at rationalizing energy use in general and buildings in particular, setting maximum permissible energy consumption rates for buildings and strengthening relevant control.  The imperfection of the regulatory and legislative base in the field of energy efficiency, the need to develop a state standard for the design of buildings with increased air permeability, the development of a methodology for determining the air permeability of a building, the legislative establishment of minimum requirements for building airtightness, the development of a methodology for testing buildings for airtightness, and the imperfection of the methodology for conducting an energy audit of a building form the basis for further research. To improve the energy management of buildings, it is proposed to introduce mandatory testing of the building for airtightness, which will standardize approaches to energy management and compliance with the relevant requirements for building airtightness will lead to an increase in the energy efficiency class of buildings.
