Lead partner of EEBAK project, Lapland University of Applied Sciences (Finland) has shared information from 5 pilots they have been developing during the last months:
1. Laminated log house in Pello:
- Single family house
- Built 2013
- Constructed with laminated logs
- Energy produced by wood chip boiler
- Heat consumption 46 MWh/a
- Electricity consumption 8 MWh/a
- Measurements and analyses done in EEBAK
- Monitoring of thermal and humidity behavior during winter and summer periods
- Processing of measured data
2. Wellevi, element house in Levi:
- Educational and work well-being center of Rovaniemi Municipal Federation of Education
- Completed in 2014, built by students from Lapland Vocational School
- Energy production by geothermal heating and solar panels
- 800 m2, located near Levi center, seasonal usage
- Various different wall structures used for comparison
Measurements and analyses done in EEBAK:
- Monitoring of thermal and humidity behaviour during winter and summer periods
- Collecting data from solar panel system
- Processing of measured data
3. Vuotso school building in Sodankylä:
- Primary school and kindergarten
- Built in 1980
- Oil heating with air to water heat pumps
- Heat 390 MWh/a, Electricity 90 MWh/a
Measurements and analyses done in EEBAK:
- Monitoring of thermal and humidity behaviour during summer and winter periods
- Processing of measured data
- Energy simulations with different energy efficiency improvements
- Energy auditing
4. Administration building of Lapland Hospital District:
- Built 1975
- Mainly office spaces
- Renovation and additions in 1989
- Energy efficiency improvements during 2017 – 2018
- Added insulation, new windows, new balcony doors, eliminating air leaks in structure joints, tackling on cold bridges
- Building has been thermally imaged before energy efficiency improvements (2011)
- To analyze the impact of energy efficiency measures, building was thermally imaged again
- Thermal images were shot from same locations to maximize comparability
- Indoor climate comfort was improved clearly, mainly by eliminating air leaks and improving structural energy efficiency of windows and balcony doors
- Energy consumption will be analyzed when data is available (spring 2019)
5. Hospital district administration building in Kemi:
- LPSHP Administration building
- Construction year: 1954
- Renovated: 1994
Measurements and analyses done in EEBAK:
- Energy auditing
- Monitoring of thermal and humidity behavior during winter and summer periods
- Indoor air quality survey
- Condition assessment
