Tiivistelmä
This dissertation has the purpose of finding an alternative heating system for the Solvik kindergarten to the current one: natural gas boiler. Natural gas is considered an inconvenient fuel for the current geopolitical situation, in which natural gas supplies to Finland have been cut since 20th May 2022.
Furthermore, natural gas is not found to be a suitable energy source as it is discussed in the European and national carbon neutrality programmes. An alternative to the existing boiler is proposed, more specifically the other suggested option is district heating.
The material, such as Excel data and building drawings, was provided by the city of Hämeenlinna. The utilized software to carry out the simulation is IDA-ICE (version 4.8).
The thesis does not include timetable, profitability calculations, nor cost calculation. The modelled created in the software IDA-ICE was geometrically simplified, future simulations may be based on an accurate representation on the building to obtain more precise results, and other heating systems may be investigated.
