Buildings refer here to two main categories of buildings: residential and non-residential buildings.

Residential buildings are further divided into single family dwellings (“single/two-family houses) and multifamily dwellings (apartments).

In residential buildings, only permanently occupied dwellings are considered (vacant dwellings and summer houses excluded).

Non-residential buildings refer to buildings in the service sector and include several categories (office buildings, hospitals, schools and universities, hotels and restaurants, buildings in wholesale and retail trade).
