In Belarus, construction norms regulating engineering systems in educational institutions' buildings have been updated. One of the innovations concerns electric heating: the ban on the use of equipment that directly converts electrical energy into heat has been removed from the regulatory document. This refers, in particular, to electric heaters and convectors, writes "Nash portal" publication.

The changes are enshrined in Resolution No. 76 of the Ministry of Architecture and Construction, signed on September 17, 2026. The document was officially published on September 25.
The new requirements will apply to buildings of kindergartens, general secondary education institutions, as well as secondary specialized education institutions.
Previously, construction norms did not allow the use of heating devices in such institutions, the operating principle of which is based on the direct conversion of electricity into thermal energy. Now the corresponding restriction has been removed from the regulatory document.
Therefore, after the changes come into force, direct electric heating devices, including convectors and heaters, can be provided in the heating systems of these buildings.
However, the new rules are not yet in effect. The resolution will come into force 60 calendar days after its official publication. Until the end of this period, the previous norms remain in effect.
After the resolution comes into force, the updated requirements will be taken into account when designing and operating heating systems in kindergartens, schools, and secondary specialized education institutions.
