The standard output variable categories are the same as the classification categories. The residual categories may be output separately or combined. Where a combination item of residuals is to be used in output, this item should be labelled ‘not elsewhere included’ and should have a footnote indicating its composition.
The residual categories are defined in the glossary.
Outputs may be a combination of any of the energy types used – for example 'electricity and bottled gas used for cooking in this dwelling' (2 energy types) and 'coal and wood and electricity used to heat this dwelling' (3 energy types).
The number of energy type combinations used may include:
No energy types used for heating, cooking and/or water heating1 energy type used for heating, cooking and/or water heating2 energy types (any combination) used for heating, cooking and/or water heating3 energy types (any combination) used for heating, cooking and/or water heating4 or more energy types (any combination) used for heating, cooking and/or water heating.
The census output classification VA.0 CEN.NUMHTFUEL06 – Census 2006 Number of Heating Fuels Used Classification, has been used to output the number of fuels used to heat a dwelling.
00 No heating fuels used01 One fuel02 Two fuels03 Three fuels04 Four fuels05 Five fuels06 Six fuels07 Seven or more fuels77 Response unidentifiable99 Not stated
There is no standard classification for output of the 'Number of Energy Types Used'. Any new census classification should incorporate the new standard terms, for example:
Number of Heating Energy Types Used
00 No heating energy types used01 One energy type02 Two energy types03 Three energy types04 Four energy types05 Five energy types06 Six energy types07 Seven or more energy types77 Response unidentifiable99 Not stated

A combined list of all energy types used in the dwelling is available by derivation. Derivation methodology may vary from survey to survey.
The Classifications and Standards team may be contacted for more information on output requirements.
The residual categories are defined in Glossary and references.
The full classification is available in the 'Available files' section on the main page.
