Re: What makes them PIIGS? (none / 1)

It would be interesting to have some numbers on this. I've read somewhere (unfortunately lost origin) that the energy spent/lost on buildings (all: heating and cooling) in Southern Europe, was massive.

I would be nice to have a quantitative grip on how much energy is lost.

Re: What makes them PIIGS? (4.00 / 2)

I did some googling and found this:

EarthTrends: Data Tables - Energy and Resources

Energy and Resources
DATA TABLES
Select a data table from the list.
Energy Consumption by Sector 2005

The "residential" category should give some clues. Though the tables are in total energy/country and then divided in percentage of that total. So to compare one would need to get the absolute number for residential and divide by population to get residential/capita. And it is getting late in Sweden so I will not get the spreadsheet out now.
