Training materials

In the UPRES project we have translated a set of training material on several European languages. The material is based on the experiences and materials used in the UPRES pilot training programs that were carried out in fall 2011-spring 2012. The set is designed to serve especially more extensive programs, but can be easily adapted to shorter programs as well as the structure is modularized. Each module consists of about 30 slides.

The training material is free to download, versions are available in PDF and PPT-format. In order to get the original PPT-files, please request for a username and password (request link can be found under the table). We would appreciate having your comments on the material, so please send your feedback to Anna-Maija Ahonen (anna-maija.ahonen[at]aalto.fi) and share your ideas how to improve it and experiences how you have utilized the material in your own training provision.

The training material below has been prepared  in the UP-RES project under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme. The material will be available to you until March 2015, no updates will be provided. We apply creative commons license: the material free to use for non-commercial purposes. When using the material, please refer to the source. If you make modifications to the original material, please send a modified version to original authors.

NOTE! If you are using Internet Explorer as web browser, first save the PPT-file on your computer. Once the file is saved, you can open it.

UP-RES Tools

Energy and greenhouse gas balance

Description        Estimates a city’s energy balance and GHG emissions
Type                    Excel
Version              5
Last changed    2011-07-05
Download          co2emission tool.xls »

This tool calculates a rough estimate of an energy and greenhouse gas emission balance for a given city from scarce data. Mandatory inputs are number of private households, number of employees in the tertiary sector and in industries. Information that is more detailed can be provided to increase precision of the estimate. As a fallback solution, additional data from national statistics is stored on a backup spreadsheet. It contains default values for all optional inputs. The greenhouse gas balance is calculated through emission factors, which assign a certain amount of emissions to each consumed energy unit.

 

Heat demand of residential buildings

Description        Estimates a building’s energy demand for room heating
Type                    Excel
Version              4
Last changed    2011-09-07
Download          heat demand of buildings.xls »

This tool can be used to assess the heat demand of a building by entering its surface area and climate zone. It allows for a quick comparison of the annual heat demand with building efficiency standards.

 

Heat map

Description        Estimates a city’s heat demand
Type                    ESRI ArcGIS toolbox
Version              1
Last changed    2011-09-07
Download          HeatmapTool.zip »

This toolbox for ArcGIS 10 and later implements a simple method to estimate heat demand of buildings from a database. The single needed input is a polygon layer of building shapes, together with an arbitrary building typology (“residential”, “office”, “industrial” …). It can be used to visualise areas of high heat demand, either for prioritizing districts for efficiency measures or for assessing viability of district heating.
