# Uniform Appraisal Dataset 08 Dwelling Exterior
## Heating System Type (Choose one or more)
### Allowable Answer Definition / Additional Guidance
- **Passive Solar**
A system that uses solar energy to heat a fluid, either liquid or air, and then transfer the solar heat directly to an interior area or to a storage system for later use.
> Note: Solar panels that produce electricity are reported in the Energy Efficient and Green Features section (6.001), and not here.
- **Radiant**
A system that supplies heat directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house.
- **Radiators**
A system that boils water in a central unit and moves steam to a radiator in an individual room or space.
- **Stove**
> Note: Only select this answer if the stove is used as the primary source of heat.
- **Other (Describe)**
Select Other to enter an answer that is not in the above list.

### Cooling System Type (Choose one or more)
#### Allowable Answer Definition / Additional Guidance
- **Centralized**
A system in which air is cooled at a central location and distributed to and from rooms by one or more fans and ductwork (e.g., forced air, mini-split).
- **Individual**

## Core Heating and Other Mechanical Systems
### Dwelling Exterior: Core Heating and Other Mechanical Systems
| Report | Allowable Answer | Definition / Additional Guidance |
|--------|-----------------|----------------------------------|
| **Core Heating System Below Grade** | Required if Heating System Type is not None | Select Yes when at least one mechanical unit that produces heat (e.g., furnace) is below grade, including when the heating system is shared with multiple units. This is the main core unit that produces and distributes heat through duct work or other means (e.g., steam or hot water). |
