I would still insist that heating is the only way to make much of Europe permanently inhabitable. Yes, houses get more efficient and the energy necessary gets less (same is true for cooling a house though). Still, we had a week of permanent -10°C 1,5a ago. Without heating we'd probably have to count the deaths in the millions for that week alone.
Yeah, certainly it would increase the risk of deaths, humans aren't made for these extremes. (Btw. I think you mean "habitable" instead of "inhabitable").
But getting above some temperatures on average really makes these places deadly. Interesting article dealing with this topic, and more approachable article (which is based on that study)
