Description of the progress of the project (max. 2,500 characters): SP6 has developed an integrated decision analysis model based on the existing knowledge. With the model health effects and costs of different options of heating energy production can be assessed. The model includes variables with description of energy options and causal connections. In the model there will be assessed emissions of green house gases and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), exposure of population for PM2.5, and health effects and costs of different heating production options of small community (average 10 000 inh.). In creating of integrated analysis model there will be used open assessment method, that based on model construction in open network place using open participation, and existing knowledge of subprojects and other stakeholders. Due to openness model is open for external evaluation in reality time supporting to get knowledge from other participants. The model includes variables that are described in wiki pages (http://en.opasnet.org/w/BIOHER_assessment). Computational model is also available in the same page.
For better co-working between the subporojects the webpage with collected project material has been created.
Knowledge of other stakeholders is taken account in the integrated decision analysis model. This knowledge is modified to model from conversations or/and questionaires among other things with argumentation analysis. To get more knowledge and openness there will be arranged stakeholder meetings, where specialists and other stakeholders will be get together. The first stakeholder meeting were arranged in November 2009. A joint whole-day stakeholder workshop on the emissions, air quality and health of small-scale wood combustion together with a Tekes-funded PUPO-burn project and Motiva Oy - a state-owned expert company promoting efficient and sustainable use of energy and materials in Finland. The seminar gathered together researchers, innovators and other specialists of the same field. For the model knowledge of the seminar was collected with the questionaire.
Improvement of the model and variable will continue till the end of project by using new results and knowledge of project (other subprojects). Decisions of the model will be defined with cost-effective and cost-benefit analysis. Usability of the knowledge of questionaire and results of the argumentation analysis will be explored and knowledge of them will be merged to the model. Uncertainties will be defined and them are analysed with estimating importance of different uncertainty options in decision situations (value of information, VOI-analysis). Other stakeholder meeting will be arranged in the end of project and publication of result as scientific articles and other publications will be done in the late of project. Preresults will be publicated continuously in the net page while work is improving.
