Estimated Energy Consumption of the Finnish Building Stock Using Representative Building Types Riikka Holopainen Senior Scientist VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland Riikka.Holopainen@vtt.fi Pekka Tuominen, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland, Pekka.Tuominen@vtt.fi Juha Jokisalo, Aalto University, Finland, Juha.Jokisalo@aalto.fi Lari Eskola, Aalto University, Finland, Lari.Eskola@aalto.fi Summary The energy consumption of different types in the stock was estimated using a twofold modelling approach. First representative s of various types and ages were modelled to establish their energy consumption using dynamic modelling. Then the cumulative energy consumption of these types was calculated based on the modelled development of the stock using the REMA model at VTT. According to the estimate produced by the calculation for the year 2012 the stock will consume 73000 GWh of energy (including electricity for ) and in 18600 GWh of electricity (excluding ). For 2020 a similar calculation suggests a consumption of 76900 GWh of energy and in 19900 GWh of electricity for the whole stock. The results fit reasonably well within the variation present in past calculations, with somewhat higher consumption in single-family homes than other studies have suggested.

Introduction The objects of the Finnish SPF (Seasonal Performance Factor) project are to define a national seasonal performance factor calculation for heat pumps and to estimate the energy saving and renewable energy potential of heat pumps on the Finnish stock. The project duration is from 1.3.2011 to 31.12.2013 and the project is financed by the Finnish ministry of employment and the economy, the Finnish ministry of the environment and SITRA. This paper presents results from Task 2 Energy use of the Finnish stock, where the energy consumption of the Finnish stock was estimated using standard types (detached, apartment, office and summer cottage) for different decades. The energy consumption of different types in the stock was estimated using a twofold modelling approach. First representative s of various types and ages were modelled to establish their energy consumption using dynamic simulation tool IDA-ICE. Then the cumulative energy consumption of these types was calculated based on the modelled development of the stock using the REMA model at VTT. The results were compared with the national statistics [1] and previous estimates ([2], [3], [4]) and four rounds of iteration were completed resulting in calibrated types, a new estimate for the composition of energy consumption in the stock and a forecast for expected changes in energy consumption.
2. Methods Four model types where chosen to represent the major types that constitute the stock: detached s (about 38 % of the total floor area in the stock), apartment s (31 %), commercial and public s, represented by an office (26 %), and holiday homes (5 %). The model types are presented in Figures 1-3. The living area of the detached was 134 m 2, the living area of the apartment was 814 m 2, the net area of the office is 2 695 m 2 and the living area of the cottage was 134 m 2. Fig. 1 Model type for the singlefamily and the summer cottage Fig. 2 Model type for the apartment Fig. 3 Model type for the office The s were further divided into four age groups and individually modelled: s built before 1960 (subgroup A), between 1960 1979 (subgroup B), between 1980 2000 (subgroup C1), and between 2001 2010 (subgroup C2). The stock in the year 2010 is presented in Table 1. Future construction was modelled as norm s built according to 2010 regulation (subgroup D1), low-energy s (subgroup D2) and very low-energy s (subgroup D3). The airtightness of the envelope is presented in Table 1. For s with natural ventilation (*) the air-leakage through the envelope is included in the air-change rate. The heat loss values (U-values) of different structures are presented in Table 2. Table 1.

3. Results The energy demands of the different standard types and subgroups were simulated using IDA ICE 4.2 dynamical simulation program with the test weather data 2012 of Jyväskylä, Central Finland (Kalamees 2012). The and energy use is presented in Table 8 for the detached, in Table 9 for the apartment, in Table 10 for the office and in Table 11 for the cottages. Table 8.

For 2020 a similar calculation suggests that single-family s will consume 31900 GWh of energy (including electricity for ) and 5600 GWh of electricity (excluding ), multi-family s consume 23200 GWh in and 5800 GWh of electricity, commercial and public s 19100 GWh in and 8100 GWh of electricity and, finally, holiday homes 2700 GWh in 400 GWh of electricity, totalling in 76900 GWh of energy and in 19900 GWh of electricity for the whole stock. 4. Conclusion Fig. 2 The results (Modelled estimate) compared to Statistics Finland [1], revised statistics [2], Ekorem project [3] and ERA project [4]. comfortable temperature. The numbers correspond to an increase of 5 % in energy consumption and 6 % increase in electricity consumption in the stock by the year 2020. This is in agreement with a slowing growth of energy consumption with a growing emphasis on electricity consumption. The results fit reasonably well within the variation present in past calculations, with somewhat higher consumption in single-family homes than other studies have suggested. This might be because a significant part of the singlefamily home stock might be underused or in disuse and thus kept in lower than A major benefit of the approach chosen here is that each type and subtype of s is individually modelled and therefore their contribution to the total energy consumption can be traced to the modelled physical characteristics of the s. This allows the study of individual modifications and their effects to energy consumption on a large scale.
