The Climate Commitments of Tampere
 Aalborg Commitments 2007
 Covenant of Mayors 2008 –(EU/ energy): over 20 %
decrease CO2 emissions from 1990 level until 2020 >
 Sustainable Energy Action Plan
 Eurocities Declaration of Mayors 2009
 Agreement with Ministry of Employment and the Economy >
Energy Efficiency Plan 2008-2016, the City will decrease its
energy consumption 9 % from 2005 level until 2016
 Regional Climate Change Strategy > at least 30 % less
CO2emissions in 2030

Why ECO2?
 The idea for ECO2 came about when the strategic
regional planning for Tampere region started in
2007
 Regional Climate Strategy 2010
 The implementation of the Regional Climate
strategy required cross- sectoral coordination

The benefits of tackling climate change:
Supporting green growth
Cost benefits
A more comfortable city for citizens
The benefits for city image
Preparing for stricter climate regulation in the
future

Sustainable energy – Tampere Power utility’s
vision
Our goals 2010 - 2030
• Reduce our emission more than 50 %
• Increase the amount of renewable energy at
least up to 40 %
• Renovating existing power plants for using
onlybiomass or biogas  1000 - 1500 GWh
• Renovating hydro power plants
• Increasing ownerships on both Onshore and
Offshore Wind Power companies  200 GWh
• Waste burning plant building project in
cooperation Regional Solid Waste Management
Ltd  50 - 70 MW
• Large scale heat pumps to exploit waste water
heat  2x18 MW

Renewable energy
 Renewable energy pilot project
together with 6 largest cities in Finland
• Tampere: solar energy, wood pellet
power plant, small-scale bio district
heating, carbon neutral Särkänniemi
Adventure Park and Tampere Hall
Congress and Concert Centre
 Charting the potential for small-scale
wind power and solar energy in the
city area

Eco-efficient built environment
 Tools for ecoefficient urban planning
 Economic incentives for low energy buildings (piloted in Vuores)
 Energy system analysis as a part of the urban planning process (e.g. Koukkuranta, Isokuusi)
 All new buildings constructed by the city are at least energy class A
 All new buildings (2012 ) built in city owned plots have to be at least energy class A
 A new information center for sustainable building and construction and energy use in housing
 Promoting eco-efficient complementary construction (Tammela)
• Eco-efficient urban development projects in: e.g. Härmälänranta, Vuores housing fair area, Koukkuranta,
Nurmi-Sorila “Sun City”, wood Vuores
 Steering the whole urban planning process towards eco-efficiency

Eco-efficiency tool for urban development
Project aim is to create an eco-efficiency tool
for urban development. Tool is developed
together with 7 cities, 2 developers and Ministry
of Environment. Research is done by VTT
Research Centre of Finland, Aalto-university
and Finnish Environmental Institute.
Tool is designed to be usedboth by public and
Private sector.

Eco-efficient renovation
 Tapre and Tarmo -projects
 Information centre for energy efficient
construction
 Energy efficiency goals in city’s own
renovations.
 Energy-efficient renovation and
complementary construction project in
Tammela district

Low energy buildings
 Finland’s first passive energy day care
centre will be built in Luhtaankatu this
year
 The Vuores housing fair will have
around 10 passive and zero energy
houses
 Near zero energy house ”Lantti”,
partners: Aalto University, Sitra, ARA,
TA-Yhtymä Oy, Lapponia House Oy,
City of Tampere

Mayors’ climate network
• The mayors of the the six largest cities of Finland established the Mayors’
climate network in Spring 2011.
• The mayor of Tampere Timo P. Nieminen is the chair and the ECO2 team
acts as secretary.
• In August 2011 six climate initiatives were announced:
• development of a roadmap on energy-smart construction for each city
• development of construction instructions and supervision in the direction of
energy information and quality management
• development of climate information and support for citizens’ climate acts through
a joint project by the cities
• assignment of eco-support staff for workplaces
• lowering the need for travel by introduction of teleconferencing
• climate impact assessment in budgeting

From new ideas to established practices
examples
The Mechanism
Example
What is still needed
Integrating eco-efficiency in policy
guidelines
New regulations for energy efficiency were
integrateding in land use policy in November 2011
Implementation follow-up
Capacity development through
pilots
Vuores area as a platform for eco-efficiency, i.e.
Energy system analysis as a part of planning
process
Resources and education
for planners, nominating a
responsible person for
energy aspects
New regulations
Developing easy-to-use tools and
checklists
Eco-efficiency tool for
urban planning
A decision that the tool
will be used in all urban
planning processes
Developing new practices and
ownership of energy efficiency
through projects (choosing the
right owner for the project)
Tapre-project, funded partly by ECO2, coordinated
by Tampere Real Estate services
Scaling-out the project to
residential sector
Learning from good examples
ECO2 forums
