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.
EcoHousing is European project within the Central Baltic Region INTERREG IVA frame which goal is to increase the use of energy saving heating systems, energy efficiency domestic appliances and biofuels.
Within the frame of the project the partners will collect information of heating technology, boilers and devices utilizing wood energy and other bioenergy in different forms in the 3 states where the project is implemented (Finland, Estonia and Latvia).
Questionnaire for end-users on energy efficiency and implemented measures
- a transnational market research (Finland, Estonia and Latvia) regarding technologies for wood-based heating systems in small houses (single or small multifamily) - survey 1 based on web-questionnaire,
- Implementation of second survey (survey 2) through a web-questionnaire which objective is to find out how important is energy saving to households,
- developing and testing of the consumer directed guidance services and network operations model. The goal is to organize reliable and easily accessible energy guidance for the public,
- combustion tests on different types of wood-based fuels and researches on utilization of combisystem in small house heating system (single or small multifamily),
- developing of training material and courses for technicians (installers and advisers) in the in the field of bioenergy.

The main tasks of IESE within the Ecohousing project are:
- to determine and compare the quality of several biofuels available in Latvia;
- to perform combustion tests in small scale solid biomass heating appliances;
- to analyze the performance of solar - pellet combisystem installed in a multi-family house in Sigulda.
During the project 11 samples of pellets, 8 samples of wood logs and 6 samples of briquettes will be collected from producers and distributors, and additional samples will be provided by Finnish and Estonian partners. Biofuel quality parameters will be determined for all these samples. Samples of various materials such as wood, straw, peat and grass will be tested.
Combustion tests with 25 kW pellet boiler and 10 kW heating stove will be performed at the Environmental Monitoring Laboratory of IESE. The testing will be done using the previously collected biofuel samples. The aim of testing is to determine the relationship between efficiency, capacity and emissions from appliances and quality of the biofuels.
At the end of 2010, the first solar and pellet combisystem for a multi-family building was installed in Latvia. Within this project the optimization and analysis of this system is carried out as well as the results and achievement reports are collected.
In addition IESE is participating in the activities organized by other project partners, most significant being the development of common online learning database. The goal of the database is to inform the energy users about energy efficiency and energy saving in households. Within this database the compilation of information about the biomass heating appliances currently available in Latvia will be published. |
