Unit heat consumption of buildings in Finland
[show] |

Question
What is the average unit heat consumption (energy purchase, kWh/m2/year) of different types of residential buildings in Finland?
Characterisation of buildings:
- Building type (detached house, row house, apartment building)
- Construction decade
- Primary heat source (light oil, pellet, district heat, electricity, geothermal)
Answer
Rationale
Heat consumption of a building depends on the outdoor air temperature, preferred indoor air temperature, insulation, air tightness and surface area of the building envelope (walls, roof, floor, windows, doors), ventilation rate and heat recovery from the ventilated air, heating system (efficiency of heat production and recovery of lost heat), hot water demand, internal heat gains from people and electrical equipment, and external heat gains from the sun.

Dependencies
- Outdoor air temperature
- Indoor air temperature
- Building envelope (walls, roof, floor, windows, doors)
- Insulation (heat conductance)
- Air tightness (involuntary air leakage)
- Air ventilation (rate, heat recovery)
- Heating system (heat production efficiency and heat loss from distribution within a building)
- Internal heat gains (electrical equipment, people, recovery of heat loss from heat distribution within a building)
- External heat gains (sun)
- Hot water demand
