> People in scandinavia live in warm houses, in continental europe people live in cold and damp houses in the winter

Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, north of France and Germany had a closer climate (and more accustomed to heating), that's why I looked up their z-score first.

Really?

I live in the UK and have spent some time in Sweden and I would agree with this. Swedish homes are amazingly warm and cozy in the winter.

Yeah, and in germany using the heating in your home is basically considered an unnecessary luxury, while in Sweden it's always included in the rent, and always on.
