4.1 Does the dwelling have a heating system?

[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No (go to question 4.3)

4.2 Indicate the type(s) of heating system(s) used in the dwelling and the fuel or energy source that powers each system

Multiple responses are allowed.

[] 5 Fuel oil
[] 6 Electricity
[] 7 Other fuel or power source
Independent system used by one dwelling only:
[] 8 Methane, natural gas
[] 9 Gas oil

[] 11 Solid fuel (wood, coal, etc.)
[] 12 Fuel oil
[] 13 Electricity
[] 14 Other fuel or power source
Individual permanent devices (fireplace, stove, radiator, heat pumps, etc.) that heat all or most of the dwelling:
[] 15 Methane, natural gas
[] 16 Gas oil
[] 17 LPG (liquid petroleum gas)
[] 18 Solid fuel (wood, coal, etc.)
[] 19 Fuel oil
[] 20 Electricity
[] 21 Other fuel or power source
Individual permanent devices (fireplace, stove, radiator, heat pumps, etc.) that heat certain parts of the dwelling:
[] 22 Methane, natural gas
[] 23 Gas oil
[] 24 LPG (liquid petroleum gas)

Section I - Information about household and dwelling

4 - Climate control system (heating, air conditioning, renewable energy)

Question 4.1
Answer "No" (box 2) if the dwelling does not include any kind of heating system, or only includes mobile space heaters that run on electricity, gas or other power sources.

Question 4.2
Multiple responses are allowed.

Use the following definitions to answer the question appropriately:

-Centralized system: designed to heat all of the dwellings in the same building, and housed in a dedicated utility room (cellar, basement, etc.) that does not belong to any specific dwelling. This includes systems connected to public district heating networks.

-Permanent independent system: designed to heat a single dwelling and usually located inside it or nearby (e.g. a heating unit located in a dedicated room or balcony/terrace; solar panels located on the roof, etc.) and that is controlled independently.

-Individual permanent devices: not connected to a centralized or permanent independent system, but not mobile, e.g. fireplaces, individual built-in gas radiators, heat pumps, electric surface elements, stoves that burn wood, kerosene or LPG (liquid petroleum gas).

Indicate the type of fuel or energy that each heating unit runs on. Each checked box corresponds to both a unit type and the fuel or energy source that powers it. For example, check box 10 to indicate an independent system for that dwelling?s exclusive use and fueled by LPG, or check box 1 to indicate a centralized system that runs on methane or natural gas. Check the appropriate boxes for multiple responses - for instance, if the dwelling has both an independent methane-gas-powered unit and a wood-burning fireplace, check boxes 8 and 25.
