In 2011 the primary energy consumption of the building stock was 404 PJ that is 40% of the total energy consumption of the country (1044 PJ).

The above figure is based on estimations, because the available statistics for fuel consumptions are not determined on building stock level. The estimation is further elaborated by the following table.

Primary energy use of the building stock in 2011 (PJ)

Households	242
Public and commercial buildings	143
Industral buildings	12
Agricultural and other buildings	6
Buildings total	403

Source: Calculation based on the national energy balance and the „Vezetékes Energiahordozók Statisztikai Évkönyve 2011. (MEKH)” (Statistical yearbook of network energy sources, 2011)

Taking into account the number of flats and the total floor area the specific primary energy consumption is 187 kWh/m²year for the residential buildings. However the figure does not reflect the quality of the building stock, because a significant part of the buildings are unheated or partly heated.

Similarly, an estimation for the fuel distribution on the primary energy use of the building stock (including residential and non-residential buildings) is presented by the following table.

Primary energy use of the building stock in 2011 (PJ)

Natural gas	210
Other fuel (wood, coal, etc.)	56
District heat	39
Electricity	98
Buildings total	403

Source: Calculation based on the national energy balance and the „Vezetékes Energiahordozók Statisztikai Évkönyve 2011. (MEKH)” (Statistical yearbook of network energy sources, 2011)

The total natural gas consumption of the country is 243 PJ from that 210 PJ is used by the buildings. Approximately 60% of that (126 PJ) is used by residential buildings. The figure about “other” fuels and particularly about wood is most probably underestimated, because statistics do not include the significant amount of non commercial biomass. The use of district heating is continuously decreasing. Between 1995 and 2010 it has decreased from 73 PJ to 43 PJ.
