Overview: In 2001, heating accounted for one quarter (24%) of total energy consumption. Domestic heating alone accounted for nearly 1/5th (17%) of the energy consumed and possibly up to 14% of total GHG emissions. Demand for heat is likely to fall as building energy efficiency regulations are tightened and older housing stock is replaced or renovated - however, this process of renewal is relatively slow, and thus heating will remain an important contributor to emissions for a long time to come. Furthermore, a relatively new and growing sector is the demand for cooling services and innovation in renewable heat systems should also be targeted at the provision of cooling.
