That's naive. Modern building code in the US is pretty/very heavy on energy efficiency. And of course European buildings heat up.

All new buildings in EU now have to be A+ energy efficient meaning it’s nearly self sufficient - heats up from human heat and air-to-air heat pump.

So, basically the same legislation as what California had implemented a few years before the EU.
