Abstract: Since July 1st, 2009 it is compulsory for a new or major renovation building project to meet the requirements set by Estonian Government decree nr. 258 „The Minimum Requirements for Energy Efficiency“. This article reports on analysis of evaluation carried out in Tallinn University of Technology how the implementation has taken effect. As the results show there are severe problems with application of this decree, concerning the decree itself, as well as the shortage of knowledge and know-how amongst people applying it. Due to difficulties of establishment of the decree an alternative building evaluating schemes that could be implemented in Estonia are introduced, with their possible merits and drawbacks stated.
