(e) energy losses in energy distribution, where the level of such losses is assessed in particular, and the causes of their excessive levels, the state of thermal insulation, the way in which they operate and their dimensions are assessed;
(f) energy consumption for heating and hot water preparation, where compliance with the proposed conditions of thermal well-being in heated rooms, use of measurement and control techniques, annual heat consumption per unit of volume of heated space or heated area and consumption of hot water per person;
(g) the thermal technical characteristics of buildings and their structures;
(h) energy consumption for technological production processes where energy analysis of production technologies is carried out;
(i) energy consumption for other processes such as ventilation, cooling and lighting; In particular, specific energy consumption, power consumption, time utilisation and efficiency shall be monitored.
(9) The analysis results in an appreciation of energy efficiency and quantification of the amount of available energy savings in the energy audit subject, including possible energy savings.
(10) Where an energy audit is carried out on technological installations for the production of electricity and heat, for the transmission, distribution and internal distribution of electricity and for the distribution of heat, including internal distribution, this equipment shall be evaluated in accordance with a separate regulatory act (3). In such cases, the proposed measures shall be established in order to achieve at least the values laid down in those provisions. Where technological installations for the production of electricity and heat, for the transmission, distribution and internal distribution of electricity and for the distribution of heat energy, including internal distribution, comply with the energy efficiency requirements laid down in special legislation3), an energy audit shall not be carried out. In the event that installations meet only some of the energy efficiency requirements, the energy audit shall be carried out in full only for the remainder which does not meet the requirements.
(11) Where an energy audit of the building part is carried out, it shall be clearly established for which structures the achievement of the required values under the special legislature2) is technically not possible or economically appropriate in view of the expected duration of use of the building, its operational purposes, or contrary to the requirements of the special legislature5). In the case of buildings meeting only certain efficiency requirements laid down by specific legislation (m2), only the relevant part which meets the requirements shall not be implemented and the rest shall be carried out in full.
(12) If the specific heat consumption of the heating of buildings corresponds to the requirements laid down in the specific legislation (1), (2), an energy audit shall not be carried out. This fact shall be demonstrated by the owner by the energy licence of the building. For buildings already used, the specific legal regulation (1) and the measured values of heat and hot water over the last period of measurement shall be based on the measurement of the specific heat consumption for heating and hot water.
§ 6
Proposal for measures to reduce energy consumption
(1) The energy audit, following the level of available energy savings found, contains specific measures leading to their use. For each measure, the amount of energy savings in technical units with their financial evaluation, the amount of investment and operating costs and a simple return shall be determined. Thereafter, the measures shall be organised in at least 2 variants, unless otherwise provided for in this Decree, for a comprehensive evaluation.
(2) For each variant, energy balance shall be processed and compared with the balance applicable to the baseline. The investment costs, the amount of energy savings actually achievable or the reduction of energy costs for each variant shall be determined taking into account any restrictive effects.
(3) The result is a revised energy balance of the different variants, which contain the necessary indicators before and after the implementation of the project, both in technical and financial units. They shall be processed in tabular form, the model of which is given in Annex 6.
(4) The adjusted energy balance shall calculate the amount of available energy savings in the building and the saving of the financial costs of the acquisition of fuels and energy.
(5) In addition, the energy audit carried out for the contribution organisations set up by the administration sets out a sub-set of technical and organisational measures to reduce energy consumption, the implementation of which can be paid out of the cost of spent fuel and energy, for a period not exceeding half the specified depreciation period of the relevant tangible assets, in particular energy economy and buildings, under the special legislation6).
(6) In the case of buildings, the heat energy needs shall be determined according to the specified model of the building's energy needs, following § 5 (7) for the design of the heat-technical properties of the circuit structures, i.e. the system boundary, i.e. the rated volume of the building, and the heat energy needs of the modified building shall be assessed in accordance with the specific legal regulation (2) for comparison with the required standard values.
§ 7
Economic evaluation
(1) The savings in energy costs resulting from the adjusted energy balance are mainly adjusted for the change in other operating costs or, where appropriate, energy sales, wages, service services, repairs, operating materials and sales for energy sales. In this way, the annual benefits and change in the cash flow of an energy-saving project are determined. In the calculations, the benefits are considered at the price level of the project implementation year. The cash flows of the project are assessed without the influence of the envisaged State aid.
(2) The calculation of the economic assessment shall be as set out in Annex 7.
(3) The economic assessment shall not include the cost of measures to eliminate neglected maintenance.
§ 8
Environmental evaluation
(1) The energy audit shall quantify the reduction of environmental burden resulting from variations. Indicate the name of the pollutant, its quantity in t / year for the baseline and post-implementation status. The evaluation shall be given for energy sources and energy consumption subject to an energy audit.
(2) The environmental evaluation shall be carried out in a tabular format, the model of which is set out in Annex 8.

The rate of use of energy savings potential, the annual financial return obtained by implementation and the economic efficiency of the project shall be indicated. At the same time, the marginal conditions under which energy savings are determined shall be indicated. For buildings, energy savings and specific heat consumption for heating of the building are determined according to the specific legislation2).
(4) The selected variant, or part thereof, referred to in Article 6 (5) in the energy audit carried out for the contribution organisations set up by the administration, shall be assessed in the light of the possibility of financing energy service projects in the form of a supply credit under the special legislature7) and Annex 7.
