In winter in England, people start to turn on the heating.

In Britain, the heating at home is independent and can be turned on at any time as long as it feels cold. Moreover, many British people say that the gas bill in Britain is very high, and they hope to use less heating.

Different from the way of collective heating in northern China, the heating in Britain is independent in the family. Every family will install a water heater, which can send hot water to the radiator in each room through water pipes, and then flow back to the water heater for reheating.

There is indeed a big gap between heating in Britain and heating in China.

1, too thin buildings will lead to a decline in cold resistance. For example, most of the houses rented by international students are low-cost houses occupied by working-class or low-income people during the industrial revolution, with poor thermal insulation performance.

In addition to the thin outer wall, the indoor houses are separated by single-layer boards. Generally speaking, the rooms where people live are all equipped with heating, and there is no heating facility in the living room and corridor, so the heat will be lost in the process of transmission.

2. Privatization of British heating companies has brought many problems. In the wave of privatization decades ago, all energy companies in Britain were sold to private individuals. In order to maximize profits, these energy companies are reluctant to transform their energy systems, and the government is unable to order them to make large-scale energy system adjustments.

Extended data

In an article on April 30, 20 16, the Independent reported that from February 20 15 to March 20 16, 49,260 people died because the winter temperature was too low, among which14,780 people died because the indoor temperature was too cold.

According to statistics, the population of Britain was about 64.6 million in 20 15. That is to say, last winter, one in every 4,400 people left the world because their home was too cold.
