[holding answer 15 January 2009]: No data are available at the required level of detail but the BREDEM model (which estimates domestic energy consumption and is produced by the Building Research Establishment) provides a more general comparison.According to this model, it requires around 25 per cent. more fuel to heat a house to equivalent internal temperature in Eastern Scotland, compared with an identical home in the Severn region.
