Partner introductions

the lead partner of the project
responsible for the measurement work package (WP3)
co-operates closely in the project with another Finnish partner Oulu Building Supervision Office
measurements of air tightness and energy consumption will be done for approximately 50 low energy/passive level family houses and few apartment buildings, constructed by the 9 associate partner companies
contact person: project managers Antti Haapalahti, Kauko Tulla

main task in the project: Energy Efficiency Quarter (EEQ) in the Ritaharju district of Oulu, including 7 plots for dwellings
BSO makes local-area building plan, defines building instructions for EEQ
EEQ acts as a Living Lab to showcase new energy efficient building efforts, methods and technologies
Contact person: Markku Hienonen

strong expertise in industrially built wooden houses
will concentrate on research how energy saving actions can be integrated into the mass production lines of prefabricated timber houses (WP4)
expertise in multi-storey wooden buildings and life-cycle energy consumption of buildings (Energy Signature)
leader of the project results dissemination (WP6)
contact person: Lars Stehn, Helena Johnsson

responsible for a state-of-the-art survey (WP2) in issues related to energy efficiency in buildings
will also measure air tightness of buildings, including apartment houses
initiatives include participation in pan-European (EU-funded programs) projects
contact person: Thomas Olofsson, Ingrid Allardt

the key competence areas of the institute include materials technology, cold climate technology and renewable energy
the focus area in the project is the use of concrete for energy efficient buildings
with simulations and measurements of air tightness, temperature distribution and energy consumption in concrete buildings, NORUT will analyze today’s state of the art and determine what are the development areas
NORUT will work in close co-operation with industry partners Betong & Entreprenørsenteret, a building contractor based in Lofoten, and specialized in prefabricated concrete construction as well as with Norcem, which is the only cement producer in Norway
