Highlight Information

This indicator provides insight into climate variables and the building’s energy needs for heating, which is intrinsically connected to energy poverty. However, it does not account for buildings’ energy efficiency or affordability, which can vary significantly across households and regions. Moreover, the indicator focuses on average temperatures, and it is not the most appropriate to capture short-timed temperature fluctuations, such as heat waves, which can considerably impact residential energy consumption and thermal comfort. Combining it with indicators such as the "Final Energy Consumption in Households" and "Inability to heat or cool", can help build a more comprehensive picture of energy poverty.
