General description:
|
Mustamäe District of Tallinn was built in the 1960`s and 1970`s.There live about 80 000 persons in 20
000 flats. The actual buildings were built in 1964-65. The framework is precast concrete elements and walls
are of plastered light weight concrete. The roof is flat and had many leaks causing considerable energy
losses. The buildings have one-pipe heating systems (Ehitajate tee partly 2-pipe system) connected with
district heating. No regulation possibilities were available for incoming heating water or for local needs
inside the buildings. Ventilation consist of natural draught. This project consist of four units, totally
seven buildings, 424 flats and owned by four cooperatives (legal private status also during the Soviet
era).

4) Cost (to the extent possible):
To the investment costs are referred the cost of the investment proper and the accumulated interest during the
grace period, generally 2 years.
The AIJ/JI cost items are the costs for:
- Technical assistance, a technical and administrative support from consultants, during the period from
definition of the project till commissioning. These costs are paid by STEM.
- Follow-up, an annual technical and economic follow-up by consultants, hired by STEM, of the operating results
of the plant with the objective to improve on its techno-economic sustainability and its climate effect. The cost
indicated is an average cost per project.
- Administration –Costs for seminars, handbooks, education (capacity building) and average costs of STEM
staff per project.
- Difference in interest rates. STEM applies for its loans generally an interest rate corresponding to 6-month
STIBOR (Stockholm InterBank Rate, in April 1999 3,0 %). Assuming a normal lending rate of 7 % means that this loan
is associated with a cost of 4 % in relation to normal lending rate.
Investment/instalment = the borrower’s possible own financing of the investment, followed by the
borrower’s repayment of the loan.

Describe environmental benefits in detail:
|
Annual emissions reduction:
Projected: 1998
452 ton CO2 196 ton CO2
2 ton SO2 1 ton SO2
0,8 ton Nox 0,3 ton NOx
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?
|
No.
|
|
Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:
|
The inhabitants have become much more aware of environmental aspects. Inhabitants and neighbors find that
they can see "the light in the tunnel" - they have common positive issues to discuss. This
creates of course unity and identity. The process gives also as result a form of
self-identity and pride to take part in the evolution. Looking at the actors in the process from local
manager to architects, engineers, suppliers they receive an example how to act commercially and at
the same time keep the ethic in business.
Much better comfort thanks to a 2-30C higher inside temperature.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?
|
Yes, some studies has been curried out
SEI case study
|
|
Describe economic benefits in detail:
|
Decreased energy consumption between 8-30 %. The experiences from this project encouraged the actors to go
further with new projects. For example the whole Mustamäe District will have new substations in the
end of the year 1997.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?
|
Yes, some studies has been curried out
SEI case study
|
E. Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real, measurable
and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not have occurred in
the absence of such activities
1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied:
Present data reflect emission reductions using status quo (emissions in the period before the conversion to
renewable fuel) for the baseline case. Calculations, according to the top-down method, for emissions from different
types of projects in the baseline case are being made. The changed calculation method will result in a change in
emission reduction.
The new data will be introduced as soon as available.
2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
Emission reductions are calculated using the IPCC Guidelines, using the Carbon Emission Factor (CEF) for different
types of fuel, using actual system efficiency. For boiler conversion, the decrease in emissions is calculated in
relation to the amount of fossil fuel replaced (status quo).
For an energy efficiency project the decrease in emissions reflects the amount of fuel that is saved through the
project. In the case that the system uses renewable fuels, the reduction is calculated comparing the amount of
fossil fuels that was used before the conversion to renewable fuels.
Below comparison is based upon that the base-line scenario represents a status quo solution.

|
Transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how
|
Describe briefly
|
|
Schematically, the transfer of knowledge involves the following activities over time:
i) Technology transfer through STEM technical specialist during the implementation of the project.
ii) Technology transfer through cooperation between foreign supplier and local partner
iii) Conferences, seminars, documentation and training.
iv) Stimulate "net-working" for the exchange of experience between plant owners with similar
problems, e g "bio-clubs"
|
Technology transfer has taken place through:
- STEM technical specialist support to the local project leader and municipality;
Knowledge in negotiations to foreign companies;
Knowledge in managing and planning of projects;
Transferring of environmental issues to the local parties;
Transferring of knowledge in operation and maintenance issue.
ii) technology transfer through cooperation between foreign consultants, supplier and local consultant and
building constructor.
- Personal involved in the project has been invited to different seminars and work-shops and,
documentation for training has been handed over.
There were arranged seminars through close cooperation between STEM and Estonian partners:
- Environmentally Adapted Energy Systems in the Baltic Region and Eastern Europe - seminar in Tallinn ,
14-15 April, 1994;
- Environmentally Adapted Energy Systems in the Baltic Region and Eastern Europe - seminar and workshops
in Tartu , 25 November, 1994 (prepared information by topics in Estonian over than 150 pages);
- EAES Programme District Heating Day in Vändra, 27 July, 1995;
- Environmentally Adapted Local Energy Systems - seminar and presentation of translated into Estonian
booklet "Environmentally Adapted Local Energy Planning" in Rakvere, 11 November, 1998 and in
Tartu, 12 November, 1998;
- Energy efficiency projects in Mustamäe residential buildings - seminar in Tallinn, 16 September,
1996.
- information and meetings with personell involved in the project and the tenants
iv)Activities have been supported by STEM to stimulate cooperation with local experts, consultants, project
owners to achieve two-way communication and to find respect for chosen solutions from both sides.
Projects has been visited by specialist of other areas (incl. from Russia, Baltic Countries) to exchange of
experience.
Involving professional groups besides energy experts i. e. architects, construction engineers, fire
security experts and so on to achieve optimal solutions and to secure other aspects such as aesthetic view.

H. Additional comments, if any, including any practical experience gained or technical difficulties, effects,
impacts or other obstacles encountered
Fill in as appropriate:
-
Any practical experience gained:
The experiences gained at this project are once again underling the importance of adjusting and adapting the
measures in a building to what is required in that particular building rather than using standard applications
which might well result in the desired energy savings but at necessary high costs.
