While idly scanning through the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) website, as one does, I came upon a gem - the National Heat Map. Commissioned by DECC, the Centre for Sustainable Energy has created a map showing heat use by area in England.
Just zoom in to Thornbury, choose whether you want to see total, commercial, residential or industrial heat density. I've set this link so that you can see total heat consumption for England, the Bristol area and Thornbury. Please remember that the colours in each map represent relative rather than absolute values so you'll need to look at the legend for each map. Also remember that heat density is presented per unit of land area, so the jury's out on whether Thornbury folk are profligate or miserly with their use of energy!
