The condition of the electric heating, like all electrical equipment, should be checked regularly and, in connection with the renovation of the premises, the need for renewal should also be determined. There are several ways to reduce energy consumption, influence energy costs, or do both in an electric heating house, some of which are very easy to implement.

Energy advice for housing associations The site is designed to help housing associations in planning and carrying out energy renovations. The website contains tips for board members, information on energy grants, and instructions and help for performing a ton inspection.

The purpose of the project is to reduce the amount of heating oil and purchased electricity and to improve the use of energy in the Teisko area.

In the project, good examples of energy renovations and other actions promoting a sustainable future will be collected from the area, which can be shared among the community. Eco partners’ energy advisors will organize information points and events in the area during the fall of 2022.

In the 6Aika Energy-wise cities project, new intelligent and low-carbon supporting solutions were sought to improve the energy efficiency of residential and service buildings in cities. In addition, the project looked at the development of regional energy systems and the planning of zero energy blocks.

With the Small houses from oil to renewable operating model, the municipality can encourage and help the owners of oil-heated small houses to change the heating method. The work is done in cooperation with local stakeholders. The project is financed by the Energy Agency, Tampere Sähkölaitos and the city of Tampere. Ekokampnit Oy is responsible for the implementation of the campaign. The project created its own advisory website to support the transition from oil to renewables.

KARE – Resource-efficient maintenance of residential properties In the project, additional training was organized for property managers regarding the energy efficiency of renovation construction and digital services. The project supports lifelong learning.

In the Puuosaamista Pirkanmaalle project, in cooperation with micro and small and medium-sized enterprises, the training needs of the field of wood construction were investigated and the field’s training offer is developed, taking into account all levels of educational institutions. The University of Tampere, Tampere University of Applied Sciences and the Tampere region’s vocational college Tredu compile training packages that are tested by company staff in pilot trainings.

SeutuRANE – Energy advice tailored to each municipality. Free, expert and impartial energy advice will be extended to the entire Tampere region. One of SeutuRANE’s main goals is to create a one-stop-shop-style advice point for energy advice in the entire Tampere region, where impartial energy advice is available for all different situations, including the need for renovations, permit practices, parties relevant to further measures, and implementation options.
