Abstract
Complex buildings belong to large energy systems, which are continuously developing artificial systems with a hierarchical structure. The chief system in the hierarchy is the domestic energy system divided into five subsystems, four of which (solid fuels, liquid fuels, gaseous, and electro-energy systems) comprise the whole country and the fifth one—the thermal energy system—is a set of municipal, industrial-municipal, and industrial systems of feeding heat carriers (hot water and steam). The subsystem of transporting and transmission of primary and final energy carriers is the next stage in the hierarchical structure. Lower stages are centers of the supply of final energy carriers. A still lower stage comprises the consumers of final energy, among them complex buildings.
