Heating Fuels and Technologies

 

Percent distribution of households and de jure population by type of space heating technology and heating fuel

 

Definition

 

1)      Percent distribution of households and de jure population by main type of space heating technology.

2)      Percent distribution of households and de jure population by heating fuel.

3)      Percentage of households and de jure population primarily relying on clean fuels and technologies for space heating

 

Coverage:

Population base:

a)       Households (HR file)

b)      De jure household population (HR file or PR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerators:

1)      Number of households and de jure population by type of heating technology (hv259 in 1:6, and for relevant technologies (hv259 in 2:5), by presence and absence of a chimney (hv260)

2)      Number of households and de jure population by type of heating fuel (hv261)

3)      Number of households and de jure population relying on clean fuels and technologies for space heating (hv261 in 1:6)

 

Denominators:

a)       Number of households

b)      Number of de jure population (hv012 – see Calculation)

 

Variables: HR file, PR file.

hv012

Number of de jure members (if using HR file)

hv102

Usual resident (if using PR file)

hv259

Heating technology

hv260

Presence of chimney for heating technology

hv261

Heating fuel

 

Calculation

 

Percent distribution of de jure population can be calculated using the HR file and simply weighting the data by the sample weight (hv005/1000000) multiplied by the number of de jure household members (hv012). Alternatively, the PR file can be used instead, selecting the de jure members (hv102 = 1) and weighting just by the sample weight (hv005/1000000).

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Clean heating fuels and technologies for space heating include central heating, electricity, LPG/natural gas/biogas, solar air heater, and alcohol/ethanol. A response of ‘don’t know’ for presence of a chimney is counted as a no.

 

Changes over Time

 

Collection of information on heating fuels and technologies began in DHS-8.
