Finland, Estonia and Latvia have made plans how to save energy, compensate the use of fossil energy sources by renewable energy sources. Important domestic source is wood and other biomass in different forms. Through the project the partners in Finland, Estonia and Latvia will collect information of heating technology, boilers and devices utilizing wood energy and other bioenergy in different forms. Market research will be organized in Finland, Estonia and Latvia regarding what kind of heating boilers and stoves for small houses utilizing wood or other biomass are on the market. TTS , EULS and RTU make research on utilization of combi boilers (using pellet and solar energy) in heating of small houses. New training material and courses for installers and advisers of energy efficient use of bioenergy will be developed and pilot trainings organized. Another main objective of the project is to develop and test the consumer directed guidance services and network operations model. The project will be started on an initial mapping that will give in-touch data about household housing customs. The goal is to organize reliable and easily accessible energy guidance for the public. At this moment the information is scattered and there are many different field operators. The goals of the guidance are: to be customer-oriented to attract different types of citizens to the guidance to mediate information to different company personnel and organization advisors to organize training and information events to ensure the guidance is based on real-time and correct information that is reliable and unbiased The digital services give information about household heating systems, living and electrical appliances energy efficiency on the telephone, electronically via the network and digitally. Main results of the project are the following: Two market research in Finland, Estonia and Latvia regarding heating boilers and energy efficient housing Research on use of newest biomass and combi boilers (using pellet and solar energy) Results are lectured in seminar in during the participation seminars and conferences organised in Finland, Estonia and Latvia Seminar for researchers and scientists related to utilization biomass in heating in Riga and Tartu. Three seminars for public on recent developments of combi boilers and three seminars on “Energy Efficient and Ecological Housing” for public (one in Finland , Estonia and Latvia). Three workshops in Finland, Estonia and Latvia including site visits Training material and 6 courses for installers of boilers and advisory officers of energy . Development and testing the consumer-directed web-baised advising model for consumer of energy. Two research reports, four information bulletins and guide book of energy efficient housing Achievements: The ECOHOUSING project has developed reliable and easily accessible energy guidance for the public. The partners collected information and compared good practices and new methods in heating technology, equipment and devices applying bio and wood-energy in varying forms. Furthermore, the project has both tested and produced new training material and courses for installers of boilers and other equipment relating to heating systems that utilise biomass. The training material was also directed towards advisers in the energy-efficient use of bioenergy. Furthermore, the partners have developed and tested consumer-directed guidance services and network operations models.
