space heating
Heating enclosed areas
Space heating is warming the interior of a building or enclosed area, as opposed to heating water or industrial processes.
The term appears in discussions of energy use and efficiency: Space heating accounts for nearly half of residential energy consumption.
A space heater is a portable device for warming a single room.
