“…Key requirements for the further development of each service are also included based on householder feedback. Section 4.2 then sets out in more detail how future energy services might offer 'value' to householders, by discussing the service opportunities in relation to Renström's [14] three classifications of 'smart energy tools': (1) information tools, (2) control tools, and (3) game changers. Section 4.3 critically reflects on the services generated and sets out implications for the design of future energy services including how they may account for the roles householders foresee themselves playing in future energy services and systems [14].…”

“…Renström [14] has developed the human perspective further by: (1) identifying how householders actually play many roles within energy related services, and (2) highlighting that potential energyrelated services for householders go beyond energy feedback. This paper responds to the calls from [12] and [13] and builds on the human-centred perspective taken by [14] utilising a 'bottom up' co-design approach [15] to collaboratively develop future energy services by engaging households with their energy consumption. It reports the culmination of a process -stretching over a year -of joint exploration of their energy data and 'provocation' in relation to the various energy-saving measures that were available to them.…”

“…Renström [14] undertook group sessions to generate visions for the future of smart energy systems. She investigated how householders viewed themselves in terms of their roles in future energy services, and also identified three categories of future energy services/systems ('information tools', 'control tools', and 'game changers').…”

The increasing adoption of smart meters and smart home technologies in domestic dwellings affords new opportunities to collect data about householders' everyday lives, including their energy use. Current services designed to support householders in reducing their energy use predominantly push 'feedback' at householders with limited effect. New services are needed that better engage householders with their energy data and energy saving options in more meaningful ways, and /or facilitate broader energy saving behaviours. After householders had spent a year being immersed in their energy data, this study used a co-design approach with householders, researchers, designers and building energy technologists to generate a set of future energy-related services that would benefit householders. The results present 11 codesigned concepts for future services that support householders in making structural and behavioural changes around energy use, alongside concepts that use energy data to impact positively on future lifestyles. Opportunities, challenges and the implications for the design of future energy services are then discussed. The article closes with reflections on the role of the collaborative design approach used to generate these visions of the future.

“…Energiakansalaisuus ilmiönä ei kuitenkaan typisty teknologisten ratkaisujen kautta tapahtuvaan osallistumiseen, vaan se kattaa moniulotteisemmin sosiaalisen toiminnan eri muodot. Halukkuus ja kyvykkyys osallistua energiamurrokseen voikin syntyä osallistumiseen houkuttelevien käytäntöjen kautta, jotka eivät välttämättä ole teknologiatai energiaspesifejä (Renström 2019). Tämä on erityisen tärkeää, jos energiakansalaisuuden tulkinnassa aletaan painottaa oikeuksien lisäksi kansalaisvelvollisuuksia, jotka kaikkien tulisi olla mahdollista täyttää (vrt.…”

Energiamurros, eli siirtymä kohti hiilineutraaleja yhteiskuntia, joissa energiajärjestelmä rakentuu uusiutuviin energianlähteisiin perustuvaan energiantuotantoon, on käynnissä kaikkialla maailmassa. Tässä katsauksessa tarkastelemme energiamurrosta neljän käsitteen kautta: energiakansalaisuuden ja -demokratian, energiahaavoittuvuuden, identiteettipolitiikan ja reilun energiamurroksen kautta. Tavoitteenamme on tunnistaa ja tarkentaa näihin käsitteisiin liittyviä paikallisia jännitteitä nostamalla esiin suomalaisia esimerkkejä. Energiamurros näkyy suomalaisten arjessa muun muassa autoiluun ja asumiseen sekä elinkeinoihin liittyvinä muutostarpeina sekä uusina mahdollisuuksina osallistua energiamarkkinoille. Nämä muutokset tuottavat uudenlaisia, osin risteäviä eriarvoisuuksia. Energiademokratia painottaa energiantuotantoon osallistumisen ja ruohonjuuritason innovatiivisuuden kautta saavutettavia vaikutusmahdollisuuksia, jotka Suomessa ovat pääosin vielä esiasteella eivätkä kaikkien saavutettavissa. Uusin energiahaavoittuvuutta koskeva tutkimus osoittaa, että kaikki haavoittuvat ryhmät eivät myöskään näy politiikan teossa. Energiamurroksen reiluudesta puhuttaessa oikeudenmukaisuus ymmärretäänkin tulonjako-oikeudenmukaisuuden ja menettelytapaoikeudenmukaisuuden rinnalla tunnustamisen oikeudenmukaisuutena, joka painottaa eri ryhmien kunnioitusta ja erityistarpeiden tunnustamista. Koska energiamurroksen toteutuminen kansalaisten arjessa näyttää myös politisoituvan, yhteiskuntaa hyödyttävän energiamurroksen edistämiseksi on kiinnitettävä erityistä huomiota risteäviin eriarvoisuuksiin sekä etsittävä keinoja vahvistaa erilaisten kansalaisryhmien osallisuutta.

Looking for the Optimal Location of an Eco-District within a Metropolitan Area: The Case of Tricity Metropolitan Area

Compact housing structures located in city centers are considered to be the most energy and environmentally effective, mainly due to the access to services, transport networks and municipal infrastructures. There is the question of why so many of the acknowledged ecological housing complexes are located on the outskirts of cities or suburbs. Numerous cities decide to introduce strategies either to densify city centers, hoping to improve energy efficiency. The Tricity metropolitan area is a special case undergoing dynamic transformation, and its development overlaps with the processes of both planned densification of the center as well as uncontrolled suburbanization. The goal of this study was to find the correlation between optimal location of an eco-district from the functional center of the Tricity metropolitan area, allowing for the most favorable energy and environmental parameters related both to the architectural and urban scale. The research was conducted in four different scenarios, concerning present and future development. In these scenarios, specific locations were examined, and the following were compared: total energy consumption, ecological footprint and CO2 lifecycle emissions. This study shows the possibility for suburban housing complexes with appropriate parameters in an edge city model to have the same or better results than complexes situated closer to the functional center of the city. This is mainly due to the building’s energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, municipal infrastructure and relevant service access. The research proves the importance of implementing sustainable energy-saving and environmentally oriented activities at both an architectural and urban scale planning process.
