Need to heat buildings down by a fifth since 1979

The need to heat a given building has decreased considerably in the European Union (EU) over the past four decades, according to new analysis from Eurostat, with the heating degree days (HDD) value falling by 19% between 1979 (3,510 degree days) and 2022 (2,858). In other words, only 81% of the heating needs were required in 2022 compared with 1979.
