EU direktiivimuutoksen ehdotus

Vuoteen 2030 mennessä kaikkien uusien rakennusten on oltava päästöttömiä; uusien julkisten rakennusten on oltava päästöttömiä jo vuoteen 2027 mennessä. Energiatehokkuudeltaan heikoimmat rakennukset pitäisi päivittää energiatodistuksen luokasta G vähintään luokkaan F vuoteen 2030 mennessä ja julkiset ja muut rakennukset vuoteen 2027 mennessä. Asuinrakennukset olisi peruskorjattava G:stä vähintään F-luokkaan vuoteen 2030 mennessä ja vähintään E:hen vuoteen 2033 …

NEW ALTERNATIVE TO OFFSET CARBON FOOTRINT FROM BUSINESS FLYING

Business travelers often find themselves without alternatives, and flights become a necessity. Unfortunately, there is currently no carbon-free fuel available, so airlines resort to offset programs to compensate for CO2 emissions. However, these offset programs lack transparency regarding project selection, monitoring, and verification. Furthermore, it is worth noting that certain offset projects, such as waste-to-energy …

WOOD BURNING AND CO2 – HOCUS POCUS

While political decision-makers often emphasize the urgency of addressing global warming, there’s a contradiction in their stance when it comes to wood burning. On one hand, they assert that we’re running out of time to combat climate change. Simultaneously, they argue that all wood burning is carbon-neutral due to the CO2 absorption process during tree …

THE HEAT ENERGY STORAGE COULD MAKE THE ELECTRIC HEATING MOST POPULAR IN NORDIC COUNTRIES AGAIN

The EU’s endeavor to enhance energy efficiency in buildings and curtail their reliance on fossil fuels may inadvertently result in suboptimal house renovations, often emphasizing excessive insulation efforts. A more effective approach would be to concurrently incorporate additional thermal mass, coupled with judiciously harnessing cost-effective energy sources when accessible. Remarkably, even district heating companies are …
