Unit

How to read discussions

Statements: Unit should be kWh/m2/year

Resolution: Under discussion (to be changed when a conclusion is found)

1: : Unit kWh/m2/year would be better when comparing the energy needs of different types of buildings. It is also more handy when building models, because then you don't need to define the number and size of the buildings separately --Virpi Kollanus 14:15, 7 April 2009 (EEST)

#: : I agree. Unit should be kWh/m2/year. (We are focusing on that right now..) --Pauliina 15:57, 7 April 2009 (EEST)


Variable or method?

How to read discussions

Statements: It should be clarified whether this is a variable or a method.

#: : Is this piece of information aiming to present the method of calculating the energy used for heating in a building, or is this supposed to define how much energy is used for heating different types of buildings in Finland?. If the latter, then the scope could be clarified, e.g. "The average amount of energy used for heating a building in Finland" and the variable dimensions should include the energy efficiency of the house. --Virpi Kollanus 09:25, 8 April 2009 (EEST)

#: : This is a method presentation. It is a bit rough method, but for more detailed calculations more information of the buildings would be required. I will present my calculations for Helsinki Metropolitan area buildings later on as soon as I get them to wiki --Psorsa 11:38, 20 April 2009 (EEST)

#: : I agree. This is the method for heating consumption in buildings. --Pauliina 12:40, 20 April 2009 (EEST)
