Question

What is the average unit heat consumption (energy purchase, kWh/m2/year) of different types of residential buildings in Finland?

Characterisation of buildings:

  • Building type (detached house, row house, apartment building)
  • Construction decade
  • Primary heat source (light oil, pellet, district heat, electricity, geothermal)

Answer

Rationale

Heat consumption of a building depends on the outdoor air temperature, preferred indoor air temperature, insulation, air tightness and surface area of the building envelope (walls, roof, floor, windows, doors), ventilation rate and heat recovery from the ventilated air, heating system (efficiency of heat production and recovery of lost heat), hot water demand, internal heat gains from people and electrical equipment, and external heat gains from the sun.

Models for calculating building heat consumption

Outdoor temperature in Finland

  • Finnish Meteorological Institute temperature statistics[3]:
    • Monthly temperatures (Celsius) in different observation points in Finland in 1971-2000
    • Areas (Southern Finland, Western Finland, Eastern Finland, Northern Finland) are defined based on Statistics Finland major regions classification[4]
    • The average monthly temperature in each area has been calculated as the mean of all the observation points (cities) within that area.

  • Jylhä et al. 2009[5]
    • Estimates for climate change in Finland by the Finnish Meteorologigal Institute.
    • Projected change in seasonal and annual mean temperature (Celsius) in 2010-2039 relative to 1971-2000 as averaged over the territory of Finland. In addition to the best estimate (50%), six other percentiles of the probability distribution are given. The projection is based on the simulations performed with 19 global climate models, with IPCC greenhouse gas emission scenarios A1B, A2 and B1 considered equally likely.

Indoor air temperature

  • Finnish health based guideline values (Celsius degrees) for indoor air temperature in residential buildings[6]:
    • Good level: 21 C
    • Lowest acceptable level: 18 C
    • Highest acceptable level: 26 C
    • Highest recommended level during heating period: 23-24 C
