Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Improving the energy performance of buildings is one of the least expensive ways to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Building energy performance certification increases public knowledge about energy conservation and allows consumers and other decision makers to compare buildings based on their lifetime performance. In addition, energy performance certifications are an incentive for owners to improve the efficiency of existing buildings.METHODS. It is proposed to use in the process of energy certification and energy audit of university buildings collection and evaluation of basic information (including information about local climate, method of use, value of thermal conductivity coefficient and building envelope area, orientation) to determine the level of energy efficiency of the building on a generally accepted scale. In the Certificate of energy efficiency to take into account the calculated results from the assessment of the energy performance of the building.FINDINGS. It is suggested that the results of the energy certification of university buildings be presented in a simple, clear form, to ensure clarity, ease of use and comparability. For the energy certification of university buildings, a comparative labeling from A to G is proposed for use. The scale, on which the current national building standard is at "C," provides ample room for improving the rating of both new and existing buildings. If necessary, the scale should be expanded to add a label such as A1, A2, or A+, A++ when it comes to high-performance buildings.CONCLUSION. Accurate and reliable energy performance certification is a necessary foundation that will help ensure consumer confidence and the success of the certification program. The certification program must be clearly coordinated to ensure a smooth transition of the construction industry to the new rules.

In the European Community, the construction sector consumes more than 40% of the energy given, and this figure is constantly growing

This trend will definitely lead to an increase in energy consumption and, as a consequence, an increase in carbon dioxide emissions
Summary
In the European Community, the construction sector consumes more than 40% of the energy given, and this figure is constantly growing. The directive requires each member state to implement energy performance certificates for new and existing buildings (Gryshchenko et al, 2017). Certification was created as a marketbased tool that will help improve the energy efficiency of buildings, repairs, and utilities (Liu et al, 2019). It is an easy way for consumers to compare and evaluate energy efficiency investments in buildings in terms of energy consumption in the long term. Implementing an energy management system allows universities to improve the efficiency of their educational activities and to benefit greatly from the optimal use of their energy resources (Shcherbak et al, 2019). The scale should incentive for owners to improve the be expanded to add a label such as A1, efficiency of existing buildings
