(9) Predominantly used heating source:

(7) The predominant type of heating is that which heats the majority of the rooms. "Long-distance heating" should not only be the response concerning supply from a "long-distance heating plant", but also in the case when a "block heating system" supplies multiple buildings of an apartment complex with heat. "Other heating" is chosen for a solar heating system, for example.

(9) This question is only to be answered by those with oven heating (single ovens), dwelling central heating (level heating) and house central heating in buildings with one or more dwelling. With regards to house central heating in a larger building and long-distance heating, it is to be supposed as a rule, namely that the dwelling occupant/ owner does not know the type of heating fuel.

(10) Here every heating fuel should be noted that--as long as it is technically possible--the chosen heating from Question 7 appears on the first line in consideration, if in the case the chosen ordinarily used heating fuel in Question 9 is not available (i.e. transposition to a coke [Koks] heating due to oil deficiency).

Q: What is the principal energy source used by this household for space heating?

Ask for the principal fuel used by the household for space heating and circle the appropriate answer code. It is possible that a household may use more than one fuel at any one time but it is the one that is used most often that should be recorded. Only one code should be circled. Possible codes are as follows:

If the particular fuel used is not listed, write down the type of fuel used in the space below the codes.

42. Main fuel type consumed by household

32. Main fuel type consumed by household, Question 42
Ask the type of fuel that the household uses for cooking, heat and providing hot water separately. In each case, if the answer matches one of the predicted fuel types, mark the box; otherwise, mark the box for "Other" fuels.
If the household does not use any fuels to provide heat, mark "None" in the linked column.
Note that solid fuel means: firewood, charcoal, coal, animal waste and botanical waste (thorns and shavings, remaining or harvested cereal, etc.)
If the household uses several types of fuel for cooking, heat and hot water, consider the one they use the most in each case and only mark one of the boxes. For example, for a household who usually uses liquid gas and sometimes electricity for cooking, and often uses kerosene to provide heat and hot water, consider liquid gas as the consumed fuel for cooking and kerosene for heat and hot water.

Q.30: Household heating
You should check that a tick has been inserted in one and only one of the spaces provided for "Type of fuel". If the dwelling has Central Heating make sure that "Yes" or "No" as appropriate, has been ticked in reply to the question as to whether it is the principal method used for heating the dwelling.

11. Heating of dwelling

17. Heating of dwelling (Question 11) [p.20]
If inhabitants are using more than one way of heating, then the dominant way should be specified, that is -- covering the majority of dwelling, used more often or for longer.
Additional and supplemental heating sources (used during significant cold) shouldn't be registered.

Central heating is defined as any installation, which transports warm medium (warm water, steam or warm air) from the central production source to all rooms in a dwelling.

Collective central heating should be specified as such in the case, when installation transferring warm medium to dwelling is connected to heating plant's network, which is managed by electric heating plant, heating plant, communal or local heating plant.

An individual central heating is understood as a heating installation in a single-family building, which transports warm medium from one's own heating plant to a dwelling (dwellings) in this building, as well as in-hose installation, that is an installation located within the building, that is a fireplace or gas stove, which is located inside the building, for example in kitchen, and other rooms are heated by radiators.

While specifying an individual central heating, the type of used fuel should be determined additionally, and then such installation should be classified as follows:

37. The recording of the main way of heating will be done according to the situation:

Particular situation:

-- when the domestic heating systems are using the geothermal waters the code 4 will be recorded.
-- the mark x will be written on the boxes of the codes 5, 6 or 7 when the stoves are used for heating, according to the type of fuels;
-- the mark x will be recorded on the code box 8, when the electrical radiators , or any different type of heating, other than those mentioned above are used in the dwelling.
When the dwellings have several different heating systems, only one type of heating (the one used the most) will be recorded.

If any of the mentioned sources was used for heating the dwelling, the enumerator must mark it. Several answers can be marked.

The enumerator marks sources of heating used in the last heating season (from 15 October 2001 to the census day).

The dwelling is heated if at least one premise in the dwelling is heated, irrespective of whether cooking takes place in it.

28 If you marked more than one source under question 27, enter the number of the main source of heating:

The answer to this question is marked by the enumerator if at question 27 more than one answer was marked.

The enumerator enters the number in brackets at the source of heating used the most in the last heating season.

If the enumerator marked only one answer at question 27, question 28 is not answered.

3.2.3 Basic output
The data from the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings will be evaluated on an annual basis. For some indicators, the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings will be combined with the population registers of the communes. It will be possible to evaluate data from the statistics on buildings and dwellings for different population groups. Evaluations will be possible at all geographic levels. Some housing supply evaluations and the analysis of the use of dwellings will only be possible once the introduction of the Federal Dwelling identifier in the population registers is completed.

11. Which is the principal means of energy used by this household for heating the surroundings? (HogCa01)
(Read the question and select the appropriate option according to the response)

Which is the principal means of energy used by this household for heating the surroundings?

Select the main option:

• electricity
• firewood
• piped gas

• super-gas
• kerosene
• gas oil
• fuel oil
• other
• none

If the household interviewed declares more than one source, solicit that they identify which is used the majority of the time.

Keep in mind that in the case that central heating does not exist, the informant should signal which is the source that provides the energy.

In the case that the household does not utilize any means for heating the spaces, select the option "none."

It is the main source of energy used for heating we are interested in. Note that "heating" in this case does not refer to heating/warming food or water but to heat a room. Shade the appropriate code in the box provided.

HH - 1: What is the main source of energy used for lighting, cooking and heating?

Ask for the main source of energy used by the household for lighting, cooking and heating we are interested in. Since availability of energy for lighting is what is to be determined, even if a housing unit has the necessary wiring but is not connected to the electric supply system, the household will not be considered to be using electricity. Note that "heating" in this case does not refer to heating/warming food or water but to heat a room. Shade appropriately.

Note that the following should not be sources of energy for:
1. Lighting

2. Cooking

3. Heating
