The aim of this paper is to calculate the heat loss and annual energy demand for heating of an administrative building for three variants of thermal-technical design and their evaluation. The heat losses were determined according to the legislation in force and in accordance with the normative requirements. The calculations made can be used in the next phase for the design of the heat source and heating system for heating and for the design of forced ventilation with heat recovery. Based on the optimum choice of technical equipment, it is also possible to evaluate the investment and operating costs for the installation of the different heating and ventilation concepts. Given the current significant increase in energy prices, the present topic is very topical.

Keywords: Heat loss, indoor temperature, heat recovery.
