Helsinki energy consumption

Many pieces of data on this page came originally from Building stock in Helsinki, worked by the Decision analysis and risk management 2015 course.


Question

How much energy is consumed and to what purposes in Helsinki?

Answer

Energy consumed for heating, cooling, hot water, and consumer electricity in Helsinki. Note: the future consumption is based on Energy saving total scenario from the assessment Helsinki energy decision 2015, not business-as-usual.

There is no answer code here, because the U value 1.661 W /m2 /K is directly used in Energy use of buildings#Baseline energy consumption.

Rationale

U values based on overall data

The total heat consumption by district-heated buildings is 6921.65 GWh in 2013 (see below). We can derive the total energy efficiency value expressed as W /m2 /K for floor area and temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. The typical energy efficiency calculations (using the so called U value) assume that outdoor 17 °C is thermoneutral and lower values require heating. The total floor area of district-heated buildings is 38990000 m2 in 2015 according to the Helsinki energy decision 2015 model. The annual average temperature in Helsinki is 4.8 °C [1] and during heating season Sep-May 1.4 C (Opasnet data). Therefore the energy efficiency value (approximate U value) is

U = \frac{6921.65 GWh/a /(24 h / d \times 365 d/a)}{38990000 m^2 (17 K - 4.8 K)} = 1.661 \frac{W}{m^2 K}

Data not used

This section contains data, that wasn't in the end used in the model's calculations, but is still important enough that it wasn't completely removed from the page. There include energy parameters, energy sinks for different building types, and some data about the total energy consumption in Helsinki.

Previous temperature calculations

This data was perviously used for calculating Helsinki energy consumption. However, a more relevant data is now used on page Outdoor air temperature in Finland.

The annual average ambient temperature is 2.5 °C in Kuopio (Ambient temperature in Urgenche cities). Therefore, we could use hourly temperature data from Kuopio if we add the temperature difference 2.3 K. Graphs of the data.

Notes
Data from:

The numbers found are not reliable, because most of the high technology buildings such as buildings with insulated walls or windows started to be build from 10 to 15 years ago. 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. Those would be the high tech building areas with regard to 2 % renovation rate and rebuilding which is on going every year and should be added to the total amount.
