Summer cottages and agricultural buildings are usually not included in these statistics.

Building classification by purpose is usually based on what the main part of the floor area is used for. After year 2000, regularly inhabited recreational buildings are also classified as "detached residential houses".

More information of concepts will be found from here: [1], see part "Käsitteet ja määritelmät".

Fractions of own, district and electricity heating (in table 2) is used in Bioher model as fuel type of other calculation: see table 1 in

• Energy consumption of Bioher plant,
• Electricity heating in Bioher,
• Total heating consumption by own heating in Bioher.

Table 2. Fraction of own heating, district heating and electricity heating of total buildings. Own heating is sum of oil, coal, wood, geothermal and other -indexes.

	Floor area (m2)	% of total
Own	90 812 884	0.34
Electricity	74 009 244	0.28
District	99 392 724	0.38
Total	264 214 852	1.00
