Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">7.2.2.1. Filling out the Single Dwelling questionnaire</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Question 7- What is the main type of heating available in this dwelling?</span>
<br />[There is an image of box for question 7]
<br />In case there is more than one type of heating device used you should choose the one that is most frequently used.
<br />Consider central heating as a system that diffuses or distributes heat by means of a network of hot water pipes or hot air, produced by centralized heater (air conditioner, boiler, heat exchange, heat pump, etc.).
<br />The heat recuperator can be considered as central heating or non-central heating, depending on whether or not it is connected to a system of hot-air distribution. Hence, for a heat recuperator that is installed in a fireplace, not connected to a hot-air distribution system you must choose the option "Heat Recuperator". In cases where the heat recuperator is connected to a hot-air distribution system it must be considered as central heating.
<br />The air conditioner can also be considered as central heating or not (as mobile or fixed units).
<br />[If the option is "none", go to question 9]
