12 Greenhouse effect Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases trap heat radiation in the atmosphere. The natural greenhouse effect supports life on Earth. However, human actions increase the amount of greenhouse gases, causing fear of rapidly rising temperatures on Earth.

16 Temperature development on Earth during the last 170 years
17 Temperature development on Earth during the last 30 years
18 Facts During the last 100 years, Earth's climate temperature has risen by approximately 0.6 degrees. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now 380 ppm (parts per million). Before industrialisation, 200 years ago, the figure was 280 ppm. The last one hundred years is a very small time frame, considering Earth's geological history. It is certain that the atmosphere is heating up. However, it is difficult to predict how much and at what speed. It is a fact that the current carbon dioxide amounts are the highest in 650,000 years. It is also likely that the amounts are higher than in tens of millions of years. Earth's atmosphere started to cool down 52 million years ago, when the carbon dioxide amounts were at 700 ppm (the average temperature at the time was approx. +22 C) However, the biological species were different then and humans did not exist. According to current estimates, reaching this level in one hundred years is not at all impossible. For humanity, it is essential whether or not we can change and adapt to an environment on Earth where the conditions are very different from today.

21 Fossil energy source reserves (in years) Fossil fuel reserves-to-production (R/P) ratios at end 2008 Years Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2009.
22 Share of renewable energy sources (global energy) At the individual country level these sources are already playing an important role in some countries. For example, wind power generation has a significant share in total electricity generation in Denmark (around 20%), Spain (around 12%) and Germany (around 6%); geothermal sources account for more than a fifth of total electricity generated in Iceland, El Salvador and Kenya. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2010.
23 Footprint due to consumption of the world's natural resources The consumption of Earth's natural resources in 2010 will be 1.5 times or 50% larger than the amount of resources Earth currently produces. On 21 September 2010, the consumption of resources exceeded their production.

28 Future directions for construction On 22 April 2008, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy nominated a broad committee whose task was to evaluate and suggest actions for energy saving and energy efficiency in accordance with the Long-Term Climate and Energy Strategy.
29 The goal is to achieve savings of 37 terawatt-hours in energy consumption by This number is twice the amount of all energy spent annually by the 1.1 million one-family houses in Finland. The proposals involve all domains of Finnish society. Actors in the construction domain are widely involved in the study.
30 Buildings in Finland In 2007, there were over 1.4 million buildings in Finland; the majority of the buildings (86%) were residential buildings. Buildings in Finland comprise approximately 414 million m2 in surface area, out of which residential buildings cover approximately 265 million m2 or two thirds. Out of all apartment buildings in Finland, approximately 50 million m2 or 56% were built during the 1950s 1970s. The need for renovating these apartment buildings is rapidly increasing. It has been estimated that renovation resources should grow two- or threefold in order to meet the renovation needs.
31 Increasingly tight regulations Trends in construction regulations 2012 Improving energy efficiency for new construction by approx. 20% 2013 First models for material efficiency 2015 Regulations improving total energy efficiency by 30 40% 2016 Improving energy efficiency functionality and material efficiency 2017 Material efficiency included in construction regulations 2019 Near-zero energy construction for public buildings

34 FINNISH DEFINITION CRITERION 3: air leak n /h Same as the international criteria for passive houses. Measured at the construction site in pressure tests with pressure differences of 50 Pa Recommendations: two measurements measurement in overpressure and low pressure - measurement equipment installed to the location of the exterior door Source: Architect SAFA Kimmo Lylykangas
35 DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT REDUCE ENERGY NEED Compact form Good heat insulation Airtight exterior surface Efficient heat recovery in ventilation in practice, it requires mechanical ventilation Windows and doors that provide good insulation Reasonable window surface area Utilising heat-absorbing mass Avoiding mechanical cooling For example: structures that provide shade, blinders, solar reflection coating for windows Source: Architect SAFA Kimmo Lylykangas
36 Future of wood construction Low-lying and tightly built wooden houses, Oslo, Norway
37 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF USING WOOD PRODUCTS At the European level, if all residential buildings were built from wood instead of concrete Consumption of natural resources would decrease by 70%. Use of non-renewable sources would drop to one fourth of current levels. Use of renewable sources would increase to one fifth of total consumption. Energy consumption would decrease by 40%. Use of non-renewable production energy would drop by 50%. Share of renewable production energy would increase to 20%. Production of wooden construction products would create 15.3 GJ of energy as a by-product. Approximately 260 MGJ of energy from use of wooden buildings after reductions. CO 2 emissions would be reduced by 60% = approximately 10 Mt CO 2 Annually, the buildings would absorb 5.8 Mt CO 2. Source: Puumies magazine, issue 9/2009, Mikko Peltovirta

40 Timber production uses 2.9 MJ of renewable energy and 1.4 MJ of nonrenewable energy per kg of dry timber. Energy-from-waste by-products for timber production amount up to twice the amount of energy used (approx. 7 9 MJ/kg). After use, the wood can be recycled or burnt. The fuel value for burnt wood is 18.2 MJ/kg. 1 kwh = 3.6 MJ Source: Puuinfo Oy
41 Impact of construction materials The environmental impact of buildings will absolutely decrease. In current buildings, their use dominates; 80 90% of emissions is created during the use. In zero energy houses, the selected materials will dominate. Construction materials and transport Electrical systems Heating systems Ventilation Repairs Zero energy house, 100-year utilisation period
42 So, the building should be... Healthy, safe, pleasant, energy efficient, small in terms of environmental footprint, damp-proof, long-lasting, suitable for the location, aesthetic, etc.
