Question:
What are the most beneficial ways from public health point of view to reduce GHG emissions in Kuopio? The target of 40 % GHG reduction seems realistic due to reforms in Haapaniemi power plant, assuming that GHG emissions for wood-based fuel is 0. Life-cycle impacts of the wood-based fuel have not yet been estimated. |

Scope
Question
What are potential climate policies that reach the greenhouse emission targets in the city of Kuopio for years 2010-2030? What are their effects on health and well-being, and what recommendations can be given based on this? The national greenhouse emission target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % between 1990 and 2020; the city of Kuopio has its own, more ambitious target of 40 % for the same time period.

Answer
Conclusions
The target of 40 % GHG reduction seems realistic due to reforms in Haapaniemi power plant, assuming that GHG emissions for wood-based fuel is 0. Life-cycle impacts of the wood-based fuel have not yet been estimated.
Results
- Calculate building stock into the future
- The dynamics is calculated by adding building floor area at time points greater than construction year, and by subtracting when time point is greater than demolition year. This is done by building category, not individually.
- Also the renovation dynamics is built using event years: at an event, a certain amount of floor area is moved from one energy efficiency category to another.
- Full data are stored in the ovariables. Before evaluating, extra columns and rows are removed. The first part of the code is about this.
Example model run (running the model takes more than 6 min, so use this ready-made result)
Rationale
Dependencies
- Building stock in Kuopio
- Exposure to PM2.5 in Finland
- OpasnetUtils/Drafts
- Energy use of buildings
- Emission factors for burning processes
- Population of Kuopio

This work should be carefully read. It may affect conclusions. --Jouni (talk) 13:27, 20 March 2014 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

Specific actions - real and potential
- Energy production
- New power plant unit in Haapaniemi: ability to use significantly more biomass in the production of district heat (2014)
- Enhancement of dispersed energy production with biofuels
- Wide scale transition to renewable energy sources in heating
- Building stock
- Energy efficiency of buildings is increased: new stricter building regulations in Finland (2/2013)
- Education to building owners and managers: semblance of best practicies in heating and other use of energy. Possible reduction in energy use of building stock is about 10%, and mere beneficial health effects are expected.
- Land use and transport
- If possible, PM emissions and noise are calculated based on updated version of Kuopio´s traffic network
- Alternatively, the effect of increased use of biofuels on GHG and CO2 emissions is evaluated.
- Possibilities of rail traffic in Kuopio
- Other...
Indicators
- Cardiovascular mortality
- Pulmonar mortality
- Well-being...
