The paper presents the criteria describing this problem. The three technically acceptable heating systems have been identified. The method allowing for the multi-criterion analysis has been selected with the assumption that the final result will be a final ranking of all alternatives. The ELECTRE III method has been chosen. This method helped to solve the problem of pointing at the best heating system.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>heating systems</kwd><kwd>criteria of evaluation</kwd><kwd>multi-criterion decision aid method – ELECTRE III</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
