Claih is a research project coordinated by KTL. The duration is 2009-2012. The main topics include:

Topic: health impacts in Finland in 2030 under different climate change, energy use and building structure scenarios
Climate change scenarios: IPCC scenarios
- A2 (heterogeneous world, rising population, slow technological change),
- A1B (rapid growth of population and economy, advent on new and more efficient technologies, balanced use of fossil and renewable energy sources)
- B1 (rapid development towards environmentally friendly technologies)
Energy production scenarios:
- small scale wood combustion
- district heating with alternative fuel options
Energy saving scenarios: energy efficiency of housing (heating, ventilation, heat recovery, insulation)
Exposures and health impacts included:
- long-term exposure to PM2.5 and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, effect of SES
- long-term exposure to PM2.5 and asthma incidence
- short term exposure to ozone and T extremes and cardiovascular and respiratory mortality and morbidity
- housing characteristics (dampness and mould, fireplace combustion, ETS, air exchange) and development of asthma and allergies and occurrence or respiratory infections, effect of SES
Connections to mega case study:
- HIA model and cost functions for several climate change and mitigation scenarios in Finland
- ERFs for PM2.5, ozone, T in Finland
- Information on health impacts of housing characteristics relevant to climate change and its mitigation
