Today, energy production based on fossil energy sources has become seriously questioned by societies due to both cost and environmental pollution. Fossil energy sources are mainly used for heating houses, which constitute a significant part of energy consumption. In this study, central heating systems, which are the most widely used methods to meet the heat energy needs of buildings, and individual heating systems are examined and compared. In the study, the heat loss and energy need of a 5-story building consisting of 10 flats in Kars Center with a total heated area of 1080 m2 were calculated using the TS 825 calculation method, accordingly, calculation of heater devices for both systems, determination of heating system elements, annual fuel consumption amount and cost calculation has been made. Natural gas was used as fuel in both systems to be compared for heating the building. According to the values obtained as a result of the study, it was seen that individual heating systems have higher costs than central heating systems in terms of both initial investment and heating cost. It has been determined that central heating systems are more advantageous in terms of initial investment cost, fuel consumption, and total cost. While the total cost was 441096 TL for the central heating system, it was 508825 TL for the individual heating system.
