Correction Factors for the Calculation of Consumable Heat Energy Taking into Consideration Climatic Pattern of the Ukrainian Regions

In this work, the correction climatic coefficient for different regions of Ukraine is investigated which is used to determine the share of heat consumed by the consumer when installing heat cost allocators. A numerical analysis of the calculated values of the heat losses of the premises for a residential building according to the regulatory climate data of Ukraine by months of the heating season was carried out. By calculation, for such cities as Kiev, Kharkov, Zaporozhye and Lviv, correction climatic coefficients. The discrepancies between the values of the correction factors and those currently in force in Ukraine are revealed, which confirms the relevance of the conducted studies. According to the data obtained and their comparison with the existing correction factors we can draw a conclusion that for fair calculation of heat cost allocation to heat energy to correct them in accordance with the building regional location taking into consideration climatic zones of Ukraine. The proposed correction factors will ensure the accuracy of accounting for individual consumption and the actual energy consumption at the consumer, which is necessary for the implementation of Article 9 of the European Parliament Directive 2012/27/ EU.
