Home heating transition in Finland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom through the combined lens of energy democracy, energy citizenship and energy justice
Impact of glazed balcony design on daylight in Finnish apartments
Sustainable dwellings should prioritise designs that prevent early obsolescence by supporting occupant needs, their comfort and wellbeing. This includes the provision of good indoor environmental quality and adequate and usable private spaces, including balconies. Yet, visual comfort is still overlooked, specifically in Finland, with its added balcony glazing, its northern position and Nordic climate. This study examines how different glazed balc…
Lived experiences of domestic heating transitions in Finland
Decarbonising domestic heating is central to Finland's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2035. While policy debates largely focus on technological change, less attention has been paid to how individuals experience and negotiate heating transitions in everyday life. This paper examines domestic heating transition in Finland through 54 oral histories collected in Finland during winter 2023. Oral histories provide a unique lens to capture long-…
Finnish glazed balconies
Amidst sustainability challenges and in an increasingly urbanised context, housing design qualities are crucial to promote residents’ wellbeing. Despite the role balconies play in establishing connections with the surrounding environment and enhancing housing qualities, questions around how to design balconies that meet users’ needs remain under-characterised. An online survey and analysis of Finnish residents’ (n = 393) attitudes to and uses of …
Resilience in the built environment
In the last decade, our built environment has been exposed to a significant and wide range of crises, from primary (e.g., pandemic, climate change-induced hazards) to secondary crises, such as their associated physical and mental health impacts. However, previous literature has mainly focused on the impacts of a single type of crisis in the built environment and solutions for individual impacts. Hence, in the face of multiple crises and their imp…
