Tiivistelmä
Energy consumption is increasing worldwide harmfully affecting the environment. Greater
deployment of renewable energy sources is a solution to the problem of pollution. Although
offshore wind energy is not the most common renewable energy source, development and
application of the technology continue to grow. In Europe, offshore wind energy has a great
potential, especially in Northern conditions.
The main aim of the bachelor’s thesis is to find out if offshore wind energy can be used for
HVAC needs in single-family houses in Finland. This study is done to understand if generated
offshore wind energy will be enough to cover the heating demands and what are heating
options in the studied case. Besides, environmental consequences and economical aspects are
depicted.
In this thesis, one storey single-family house located in west coast of Finland is investigated.
The total net heated area is 138 m2
. Simulation of energy consumption of is performed in
IDA ICE program. The task is to compare energy consumption, energy prices, and GHGE of
studied heating modes. Possible GHGE reduction is evaluated according to obtained results.
Finally, all the examined information is analyzed to make a conclusion about current application
of offshore wind energy and future expectations.
