Hello. I had the following problem. During the repair, we replaced the heating radiators, but the management company did not take into account that our apartment is angular. That we are on the ground floor and above the basement. As a result, they put as many radiators as on the typical floors of the house. This winter, at -31, we had only + 12-14 degrees. in the apartment. We are going to sue the management company, but I can not find the necessary materials for the calculation.

Tell me where to get the regulatory documents with all the necessary information (coefficients, various nuances when calculating the number of radiators, etc.)? I am a civil engineer ASG (retired). Please discard links to current regulatory documents. Thank you in advance!

    Hello! You do not need here the calculation of radiators, this will not help. There is such a document - GOST 30494-2011. “Residential and public buildings. Indoor microclimate parameters. ” It has tables and rules for measuring the temperature regime. Do not confuse with GOST R 51617-2000 - this is already an inoperative document, although for some reason they still operate on them in many forums.

    You need to measure the temperature in each room of your apartment with a working thermometer. How to do this is prescribed in GOST. Compare with table No. 1. When you note that the temperature is not normal, you need to call the Criminal Code. Be sure to check and write down the name of the operator on duty who answered the call and record the time of the call.

    Engineers should come to you to determine and record the cause of the low temperature. Be sure to also record their visit, if you sign the inspection certificate, remove a copy of it.

    When all this does not help and the Criminal Code does not take action, go there yourself and write a statement (be sure to 2 copies so that 1 remains in your hands) about taking measurements of the temperature regime in the apartment. Check that the Criminal Code has put all signatures and stamps in both copies of the statement - your copy and the original. Or, before you give them the document, take a photocopy.

    Make a complaint about housing and communal services according to the sample as in the attached photo.

    Photocopies must be made when the commission arrives at the measurements and shows you (require) the engineering calculations for your apartment for heating and certificates for equipment.

    You will be given a paper - a written act of verification. Go to the CHP with him. They will have 7 days to react - recounting the funds you paid and some steps to rectify the situation.

    If this does not happen, you can contact the following organizations with all these papers:

    1. The prosecutor's office
    2. Housing inspection
    3. Rospotrebnadzor

    If it comes to court, you will win it, having in your hands all of the above documents.

    Calculation of radiators and more - you will not solve anything with this. There is no such standard, there are calculations by their full-time engineer, but they will not give you anything. Base paper - temperature measurements and act. Because they will take time and just tell you in court - so what, that he has 2 radiators, maybe the house is quite warm, there are no violations.
