Abstract: The impact of housing hazards on health outcomes is becoming a major issue especially given the recent and on-going reviews of energy legislation in many European countries. A large body of epidemiological literature argues that fuel poverty – a frequently debated example of a housing hazard involving low indoor temperatures – is associated with heightened health risks.
