The share of renewables
in heat consumption increases slowly, from 9 % in 2015 to almost 11 % in 2022.
This represents a massive opportunity for emissions reductions,
as heat consumption accounts for over 50 % of total final consumption.
The measurements were carried out on the basis of monthly meter readings of the
total heat consumption in several blocks with over a hundred apartments in each.
The EU's binding Renewable Energy Directive targets will make it the second largest growth market after China, as well as remaining the global leader in terms of absolute
renewable heat consumption.
But the IEA expects the overall share of renewables
in heat consumption to increase only slowly, rising from 9 % in 2015 to 11 % in 2022.
Raisins were used for constipation and to ward off
heat consumption.
Heating intensity: The ratio of space -
heating consumption or expenditures to square footage of heated floor space and heating degree - days (base 65 degrees Fahrenheit).
Secondly, when
the heating consumption of occupied Passivhaus homes is measured, the average across a number of homes (apartments in the graphs below) matched the predicted performance.
The higher
the heat consumption equals bigger savings on heating costs.
