Description

Stefan Petrovic from DTU mentioned a database from Vienna, DTU, called TABULA:
http://episcope.eu/welcome/
There's a nice distribution of kWh/d/household heating demand in the UK in Figure 6 of
https://doi.org/10.1039/C8EE01157E

Should look on Odyssee for retrofitting/efficiency data (e.g. progress per year).

See also Leander Kotzur PhD thesis for retrofitting measures in Germany:

Aggregated costs for measures in Europe, based on another source, for PRIMES on page 43 of:
