8. Other fuel types includes solid fuels such as coal, smokeless fuels, wood and peat, and community heating. Community heating systems have been included in this category as their sample size in the SHCS is too small to allow them to be a separate category but they would generally be expected to have better energy efficiency ratings than solid fuel systems.

13. This comparison uses two different definitions of fuel poverty. A comparison using the same definition results in a fall from 36% to 9%. See the 2002 fuel poverty report for further details: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/SHCS/FuelPoverty
14. Extreme fuel poverty is a subset of fuel poverty i.e. those who are extreme fuel poor are included in the figures for fuel poverty.

26. In 2005/6 there were 92 'unobtainable' cases for the SHQS, Using the methodology introduced in the 2004/5 SHCS Key Findings Report (download at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2007/03/26155927/0 ) these were reapportioned pro-rata between pass and fail. In 2003/4, 65 missing values were reapportioned and in 2004/5 50 missing values were reapportioned, while in 2002 those for which pass or fail could not be assigned were included as passes.
27. The definition of full central heating for SHQS purposes is: "whole dwelling or rooms representing more than 50% of the floor area of the dwelling with the heating controlled from a single point".
28. In this table 'unobtainables' have not been reapportioned but have been included with those who have no failures. Therefore the proportions and number of those who pass and fail do not match those quoted in paragraph 54 and Table 21
29. Assuming a design effect of 1.14
