ABSTRACT
The article describes the schape coefficient of buildings - one of the parameters which determine the amount of heat lost by external barriers. Surface area and volume formulas for solids have been correlated. The change of shape coefficient of those solids in terms of change of their shape and volume has been analyzed.
