VTT’s EcoCity Concept for sustainable community and neighbourhood regeneration and development
• Best combination of technologies and services that form sustainable solutions providing the users and inhabitants a high quality of life and indoor and outdoor comfort
• Applicable EcoCity solutions depend on local conditions and need to be customized considering socio-economic realities
• There is not just one solution that fits all, but a number of possibilities that need to be studied to find the right solution for each specific case
• Requires knowledge of local traditions, perceptions, available materials and competent partners.
• Possibility to add other functions (Digi/Smart) if applicable in the local context
• Offering when possible turnkey solutions to ensure the interoperability of systems

Sustainable neighbourhood references
VTT has done research on different aspects of sustainable building since decades. There’s a continuous stream of international research projects related with sustainability metrics and building performance, indoor climate and energy efficiency, product development, sustainability assessment and decision support tools. The focus is increasingly stretched towards sustainable neighbourhoods covering also infrastructure and economic and social assessment. VTT has 50 to 100 experts doing research on sustainable buildings.

Case studies: What is a real EcoCity? • Ecological and sustainable city development and redevelopment, solar cities • Guidelines and framework Main features • Sustainable services, jobs and socio-economic development • Renewable energy based infrastructure: energy, transport • EcoCity technologies and building concepts • Energy demand and carbon footprint • Investment and life cycle costs

• 2007 – UN objective: climate neutral building
• 11.08 – lowered target: energy neutral building
• 2.09 – estimate of energy consumption: 147 kWh/m2/a
• 27.2.2009 – new calculation: 120 kWh/m2/a
• 3.4.2009 – VTT’s assessment: 38... 75 kWh/m2/a
• VTT’s recommendation – objective 70 kWh/m2/a that can be halved
• 6.4.2009 – new UNEP objective: < 30 kWh/m2/a (75... 80% saving)
• 2.11 – estimate of energy consumption: 42,5 kWh/m2/a > energy+
