Emissions from energy use in buildings have grown steadily, accounting for approximately 36 % of total emissions in the European Union. In line with EU’s commitment to the Paris Agreement, it aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. Finland as part of the EU has set the objective to become carbon neutral by 2035, and residential building sector plays an important role in achieving the goal. This thesis examines the impacts of various energy efficiency measures on the carbon footprint of Finnish residential buildings. The energy consumption of residential buildings and the impacts of various energy efficiency measures were assessed using a building energy simulation tool IDA ICE. In the life cycle assessment, the emissions caused during the ma...
