Avoided excess cold weather mortality due to indoor cold

\(`\Delta ECWD_{c, m, y} = WDIH_c \cdot N_{c, m, y} \cdot PTF_{c, y} \cdot MDRS_c`\)

\(`\Delta ECWD_{c, m, y}`\) = avoided excess cold weather deaths linked to indoor climate

\(`WDIH_c`\) = excess cold weather deaths attributable to indoor cold per household unable to keep home adequately warm (id_parameter = 26, source: Wuppertal, /public/Wuppertal/health.xlsx)

\(`N_{c, m, y}`\) = number of affected buildings (#419)

\(`PTF_{c, y}`\) = energy poverty targetedness factor, percentage of improvement actions implemented among energy poor households (id_parameter = 25, table wuppertal_parameters, by default national share of population unable to keep home warm)

\(`MDRS_c`\) = share of measures constituting medium and deep renovations (id_parameter = 53, source: Wuppertal, /public/Wuppertal/health.xlsx)

Calculation of \(`WDIH_c`\)

This calculation is done before the import of the data into the database:

\[\begin{split} WDIH_c = ECWD_c \begin{cases} 0.1 & \text{if } UKHM_c < 5\% \\ 0.2 & \text{if } UKHM_c \geq 5\% \, \& < 10\% \\ 0.3 & \text{if } UKHM_c \geq 10\% \\ \end{cases} / HUKHW_c \end{split}\]

\(`ECWD_c`\) = total excess cold weather mortality (Source: Eurostat)

\(`UKHM_c`\) = share of population unable to keep home adequately warm (Source: SILC)

\(`HUKHW_c`\) = number of households unable to keep home adequately warm (source: SILC)
