2. General remarks
In general repetitions are ok but under the impression of the extensive overlaps in the chapter proposals we should think about a restructuring: e.g. 5c & 6, 4 & 10
I don‘t think a restucturing is absolutely necessary but than we have to find possibilities to avoid duplications by streamlining the chapters.
A general overview on data needs for different reporting obligations in a table format would be very helpful, because it‘s difficult to be aware of all these obligations. This could also assist the definition of satisfying (= good) and minimum data availability as proposed in the table in chapter 4.

3. CHAPTER 1 or 3: Who needs which data for which purpose
Data needs/Reporting obligation
Energy Statistics Regulation
EPB Directive
EE Directive
RES Directive
Housing Stock Characteristics
Ownership type,
dwelling type,
age,
insulation,
surface heated / air-conditioned
Household characteristics
Household size,
income,
intensity of occupation of the dwelling
Consumption / expenditure of energy commodities
Consumption and associated cost per type of energy commodity
Space Heating
Main/supplementary space heating system: fuel type, type of heating equipment, age of equipment
Availability and type of temperature control instruments (thermostats)
Hot Water
Water heating equipment: fuel type, tank size, age
Cooking
Cooking equipment: fuel type, equipment type, age
Electrical appliances
Availability of electrical appliances: type, number, age
Air conditioning
Air conditioning equipment: type, age
Penetration of Energy efficiency Technologies
labelled equipment by appliance type, high efficiency condensing boilers, high efficiency lamps
Retrofitting in view of improved energy saving: dwelling, heating / air-conditioning equipment
Energy service demand
Intensity of use of heating, air conditioning; heating and cooling setpoints (thermostats)
Penetration of renewable Energy Sources
Solar panels (surface, power, type), biomass (by type), heat pumps (type/power, electricity consumption)
Energy consumption by end-use
Based on modelling: space heating, water heating, cooking, space cooling,
lighting and electrical appliances

4. Chapter 2 or 3: Where are the bounderies?
Mobility
Outdoor recreation activities
(mainly in gardens)
Swimming pool?, lawn mowing?, outdoor heaters?
Second home
Mobile home
Main residence
Space heating
Water heating
Cooking
Other (electricity only?)
Private vs. Economic consumption

5. At least 5 possibilities
Main residence and dwelling bound consumption only
Main + second home and dwelling bound consumption only
Dwelling bound + Outdoor consumption
Dwelling bound + mobility consumption
Overall consumption

6. Need of clear definitions
Is swimming pool heating water heating or other purposes?
Is lawn-mowing mobility or other purposes?
Are outdoor heaters space heating or other purposes?
How to seperate economic activities and private consumption in case of freelancers working at home?
