ECO2 – ECOEFFICIENT TAMPERE 2020• Means:
– Wideranging cooperation between various actors• The City’s strategic project for 2010–2020• The City, businesses, universities, research institutes, financers
• Forums: energy, building, traffic
– New city planning tools• city energy plan, calculation of the carbon footprint, plot assignment
terms and conditions, expanding role of building inspection, holisticdesign, development projects
– Development projects• Support for reports and project planning, partnership schemes for
implementation
– Energyefficient pilot projects• Ecoefficient Vuores, NurmiSorila – “Sun City”, complementary building
in Tammela, energyefficient renovation, Sustainable Building Centre
Ecoefficient built environment• Tools for ecoefficient urban planning• Economic incentives for low energy buildings (piloted in Vuores)• Energy system analysis as a part of the urban planning process (e.g.
Koukkuranta, Isokuusi)• All new buildings constructed by the city are at least energy class A• A new information center for sustainable building and construction and energy
use in housing• Promoting ecoefficient complementary construction (Tammela)• Ecoefficient urban development projects in: e.g. Härmälänranta, Vuores
housing fair area, Koukkuranta, NurmiSorila “Sun City”
à Steering the whole urban planning process towards ecoefficiency
ECOCITY: Criteria of urban planning
Sustainable mobility
Tram planning schedule
• A preliminary master plan ready in 3/2011, two different route options• Master plan and environmental impact assessment (EIA) in Spring 2011• Decision about the tram will be made in 2011/2012• Implementation plan for the selected route 20122014• Construction 2015 >

Renewable energy
• Renewable energy pilot project isstarting together with 6 largestcities in Finland– Tampere: solar energy, wood
pellet power plant, smallscalebio district heating
• Charting the potential for smallscale wind power and solar energyin the city area

Eco efficient Vuores
Vuores Masterplan 200003 (ratified 2006)
Vuores: Main goals
• 13,000 inhabitants, 30005000 jobs• The goal is to build a structurally and functionally harmonious urban
district on the territory of two municipalities > small town image,“urban village”
• The natural environment and ecology are an essential part of the areaidentity. The environmentally valuable areas are protected.
• Diversity in the housing stock and social structure.• Traffic system emphasises public transport, walking and cycling

International cooperation of ECO2
• City networks Eurocities ja Civitas• Covenant of Mayors• Cascade: Cities exchanging on local
energy leadership• International competitions:
– The first price in Solutions 2011 competition– A finalist in Nordic energy city 2011 –
competition– A finalist in European Public Sector Awards
2011
Cooperation at the national level Mayors’climate network
6.10.2011 34Kaupunginjohtajien ilmastoverkosto
– The mayors of the the six largest cities of Finlandestablished the Mayors’climate network in Spring 2011.
– The mayor of Tampere Timo P. Nieminen is the chair andthe ECO2 team acts as secretary.
– In August 2011 six tangible climate initiatives wereannounced:
• development of a roadmap on energysmart constructionfor each city
• development of construction instructions and supervisionin the direction of energy information and qualitymanagement
• development of climate information and support forcitizens’climate acts through a joint project by the cities
• assignment of ecosupport staff for workplaces• lowering the need for travel by introduction of
teleconferencing• climate impact assessment in budgeting
Some other projects increasing ecoefficiency in Tampere
• Ilmankos(see slides of Ilmankos)• Vuores• BaltCICA, CHAMP• Regional adaptation
” The Small Town in the Midst ofNature”
Goals of the Project
• Improve the residents’ community spirit andparticipation
• Encourage people to make climate friendly
choices and reduce their
carbon footprint
• Integrate immigrants into local communities
