Question

What is the use of energy of buildings?

Answer

Enegry consumption rate shows that people are using more enrgy than years before or it's about the same in Finland:

Most of the electricity is consumed in service sectors and homes and Moreover, the electricity produced by heating is used mostly in stakeholders and a little amount in service sector:

Energy efficiency in heating

What is the relative energy consumption of different efficiency classes compared with Old? This table tells that with some background information about heat (in kWh/m2/a), electricity, and water consumption.

• Old: old buildings to be renovated (or in need of renovation)
• New: normal new buildings (no current need of renovation)
• Low-energy: buildings consuming about half of the energy of a new building
• Passive: buildings consuming a quarter or less of the energy of a new building
• Chinese green building system: [4] [5]
