The results of the German Heating and Housing Panel (GHHP) 2022 build on the first wave of the GHHP, which was surveyed in 2021. The GHHP creates a new type of data basis for the heating and energy infrastructure in Germany. The second survey wave for 2022 consists of a sample of 15,321 households. Almost 80% of respondents already took part in the first survey in 2021. 65% of respondents are owner-occupiers, 25% of whom are also renters of residential property. 35% of respondents are renters. In addition to detailed information on the building stock, existing heating systems and heating costs as well as the socio-economic characteristics of households, the survey also examines modernization measures that have already been carried out or are planned. In addition to a repeated survey of support for various discussed and already introduced policy instruments in the building sector, the focus of the second survey was on the obstacles to energy-efficient renovation for private households, the reaction of households to the energy crisis and an experiment on energy-saving premiums. This data set only contains information on the building characteristics, which can be used to calculate final energy requirements for the buildings, among other things. Repeat participants who did not move were not asked about their building characteristics again in 2022. Therefore, the information from the first wave was used here and also updated if a household stated that it had replaced/renewed relevant components since the last survey.
