Buildings refer to the construction system consisting of supporting and sheltering or combined (both supporting and sheltering) structures forming above-ground closed volume intended for people to live or stay therein, depending on functional purpose and for performance of various production processes.

Total construction volume of buildings is determined as the sum of construction volume above the mark plus-minus 0.00 (the above-ground part) and below this mark (the underground part). The construction volume of the above-ground and underground portions of the building is determined within the bordering surfaces of ventilated cellar floors under buildings designed for construction on permafrost grounds.
