Characteristics of the 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:

- Gas central heating -- if there is a special hearing stove connected with water circuit installed, which is used to create steam and heat water in the dwelling.
- Central heating with other type of fueling -- it one of following materials is used to heat water: coke, coal, briquette, sawdust, wood or oil.
- Stove heating should be defined as using tiled stove or any moveable stove fueled with a fixed material (coal, coke, briquette, wood, sawdust, etc.) and so called, economic gas stoves. The latter ones shouldn't be confused with central gas heating. Economic gas stoves are not connected with a water circuit, as it can be observed in central gas heating installations, and warmth in the room is created by direct stove's heating.
- Electric accumulative stoves' heating should be understood as heating with 'Glow' or other tiled stoves' heating, which are equipped with additional electric heaters, and oil radiators supplied with power from a plug.
