Description	To monitor compliance with federal building codes for residential, industrial and civic structures launched in 2001 and 2003, the Russian Gosstroi passed three standards for building auditing in 2003. These three codes expand upon earlier auditing standards codified in 1984's GOST 26254-84 "Buildings and structures. Methods of determination of thermal resistance of enclosing structures."
