Question

What is the building stock in Helsinki and what are some of the key parameters of energy use?

Answer

Data

• Unit heat consumption of buildings in Finland
• http://era17.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sitran_selvityksia_39.pdf page 25
• http://www.teeparannus.fi/attachements/2010-12-21T11-54-1114846.pdf pages 8-9, also 40-45
• http://www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/tiedotteet/2007/T2377.pdf page 20-21, also 30, 80
• Heating consumption of buildings

Building stock

The structures of the tables are based on CyPT Excel file N:\YMAL\Projects\ilmastotiekartta\Helsinki Data Input Template - Building Data.xlsx.

Notes

• Estimates were based on Siemens City Performance toolin seuraava kokous 2.2 and some derived calculations on BUILDING STOCK CALCULATION 2015.
• How to get the numbers for the baseline floor area for residential, public, industrial and other: Residential floor area was named as residential together, public by summing the floor area of health care, education and common buildings, industrial buildings were as such and other buildings comprise of business, traffic, office and storage buildings.
• Ref. Helsinki master plan for 2050: there are 860 000 citizens living in Helsinki (ref. www.yleiskaava.fi, visio2050); Residental buildings => fast growth
• Prediction of citizen number in Helsinki in 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 was used for calculations (ref. Helsingin 30% päästövähennysselvitys).
• Helsinki’s climate policy: 30% reduction in emissions: In 2010 the proportion of jobs in services and public sectors was 94%, and in industry 6%. In 2020 the proportion of jobs in services and public sectors is estimated to be 96%, and in industry 4%. Public and other buildings => between fast growth option and basic option, Industry=> Basic option
  • ←#: It was a good idea to use the 30 % emissions reduction report for the scenarios! Signatiu
• Prediction of job number in Helsinki in 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 was used for calculations (ref. Helsingin 30% päästövähennysselvitys).
• Tables one and two The presentation of Tables 1 and 2
• Estimates for floor area development are asked from Alpo Tani (KSV) and Olli-Pekka Pietiläinen (SYKE) as well (26.5.). No answers yet.

Notes

Data from:

• CyPT Data collection - To Jouni
• Default Building Data - Helsinki
• Energy performance class A in building automation www.siemens.com [1]

The numbers found are not reliable but most of the high technology buildings such as insulated walls, windows.... are started to build from 10 to 15 years ago, so if we could find the building area in the year 2000, we could subtract that from the building area in Helsinki at the moment and get the building area which is built during these 10-15 years and they are high tech building areas with regard to 2 % renovation rate and rebuilding which is on going every year which should be added to the total amount.

Notes

• Data used: Unit heat consumption of buildings in Finland.
• Data Climate policies Helsinki additional data only contained 0.00 for all the parameters.
• EU legislation value for U-value of windows in the document below was 1.0, so we used it for building buildings and the past years' values for the non-residential buildings. We assumed this will be the new residential buildings to be within the legislative value.
