Energy self-sufficiency in residential planning
The European Union and Finland have set several targets for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of energy, and also for using more renewable energy. Since a significant share of energy consumption is caused by buildings, it is justified to aim for energy self-sufficiency and usage of renewable energy also in residential areas. The aim of this thesis was to disclose issues that give reasoning for planning and realizing energy self-sufficient residential areas in Finland. By studying case study sights in Finland and planning instructions made for energy efficient areas the target of the thesis is also to present functional ways for carrying out planning processes of energy self-sufficient residential areas in the future. For achieving energy self-sufficiency, there are several options for the energy production, especially the heat. It is more challenging to produce electricity in cost-effective ways in residential areas in order to make them completely self-sufficient and off-grid from national networks. The co-operation with the collaborator fulfilling the energy production stood out as one of the most significant issues from the beginning of the planning process for reaching the self-sufficiency target. It is also important to examine different alternatives for the land use and solutions for energy production case by case. ; Euroopan Unioni ja Suomi ovat asettaneet useita tavoitteita vähentääkseen kasvihuonepäästöjä ja energiankulutusta sekä kasvattaakseen uusiutuvan energian käyttöä. Koska merkittävä osuus energiankulutuksesta aiheutuu rakennuksista, on perusteltua tavoitella energiaomavaraisuutta ja uusiutuvan energian käyttöä myös asuinalueilla. Tämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on tuoda esille perusteluja sille, miksi energiaomavaraisia asuinalueita tulisi suunnittella ja toteuttaa Suomessa. Tutkimalla suomalaisia esimerkkikohteita ja energiatehokkaiden asuinalueiden suunnitteluohjeita tavoitteena on myös esittää käytännöllisiä tapoja energiaomavaraisten asuinalueiden suunnitteluun ...
