Purpose. To develop electrical heating systems with night heat accumulation and to prove its advantages comparable with others possible variants of heating. Methodology. We have purposed a methodology which is based on the current Standards of Ukraine and included few main assumptions: the efficiency of the electric boiler is assumed equal 100 %; the dependence of the building heating load on the outside temperature is linear; all the variants of different energy resources calculating for the system operating correspond to the adequate (depending on weather) regulation. Methodology allows to determine the main technical characteristics of the system taking into account the possibility of switching on the electric boiler in the daytime using the half-loading. On the base of suggested methodology was developed the calculation program for determine the monthly consumption of heat by the building and estimate the cost of heating using different energy sources. This program also allows to compare the payment for centralized heat supply services at the tariff for the consumed heat with a payment for the heated area tariff. Results. We have obtained a method for electrical heating systems with night heat accumulation calculation. Method bases on the current Standards in Ukraine and allows to determine the main technical characteristics of the system taking into account the possibility of switching on the electric boiler in the daytime. On the base of suggested method was developed the calculation program for determine the monthly consumption of heat by the building and estimate the cost of heating using different energy resources. This program also allows to compare the payment for centralized heat supply services at the tariff for the consumed heat with a payment for the heated area tariff. Originality. For the first time we have suggested methodology and developed the calculation program for electrical heating systems with night heat accumulation which is based on the Ukrainian Standards and allows to determine the monthly consumption of heat by the building and estimate the cost of heating using different energy sources. Practical value. We have developed a method and calculation program which allows to design the energy saving electrical heating systems with night heat accumulation. We have demonstrated on the numerical example for the real weather conditions of Kyiv city the economical advance of using electric heating with night heat accumulation comparable
