The article justifies the necessity of implementation of a new technique of controlling heat consumption by a heating system. The formation of a heat carrier’s parameters from the beginning of heat generation until supply to the consumer’s premises has been discussed. An analysis of heat energy overconsumption in the period of increased external air temperature during automatic regulation in accordance with external air temperature is presented. The parameters not accounted for in the generation of a controlling signal under the current practices of regulating the heating of buildings
