Data obtained from Russian Federal Services and from some cities’ authority. Based on these data and ones in public domain, the trends of the characteristics of the heating season were studied. Sufficient plenitude and high quality of these data were established. Almost universal decrease in the duration of the heating period and energy consumption for heating living and public spaces was shown.
