UK homes lose heat significantly faster than European
neighbours, even when factoring in outside temperature. A UK home with an
indoor temperature of 20°C and an outside temperature of 0°C loses on average
3°C after five hours. This means that UK homes are losing heat up to three
times as fast as Western European neighbours such as Germany, where homes lose
1°C over the course of five hours. The UK has old housing stock compared to
some of the rest of Europe, with approximately 38% of its homes dating from
before 1946, compared to 24% for Germany and Sweden. Read more on the Property
