Finnish researchers to provide solutions for energy-efficient repairs in residen...

15 May, 2013 07:55 CET
There are many old and decrepit residential buildings in Moscow in need of refurbishment. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed three repair concepts for improving the energy efficiency of both buildings and entire residential districts while also reducing their environmental impact. Calculations show that it would be possible to reduce heating demand in buildings by up to 70%. Even minor repairs...

The Finnish hydrogen roadmap:Hydrogen to join electricity in ending traffic poll...

6 May, 2013 08:45 CET
Global expectations for hydrogen are currently sky-high. Transport applications stand at the threshold of commercialisation, while ahead lies an investment boom in the hydrogen distribution network. The changeover to hydrogen based on natural gas would already mean a potential saving of billion in Finland's balance of payments. If hydrogen could then be produced from domestic renewable raw material, our car and bus...

Up to 18% more bandwidth for mobile broadband users with spectrum sharing

25 Apr, 2013 10:19 CET
The first spectrum sharing trial of the Authorised Shared Access (ASA) concept with live LTE network operating in the 2.3 GHz band has been demonstrated in Finland on 25th April. The trial was carried out by Finnish CORE+ consortium coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
The new approach allows the possibility of providing extra bandwidth easily for 4G networks. By enabling mobile services to share...

Finnish project to identify solutions for flooding in cities

8 Apr, 2013 11:30 CET
New generation of water-permeable surfacing materials to be developed
Extreme weather conditions will occur more often in the future because of climate change. In Northern Europe, this means an increasing trend of heavy rainfall, particularly during the autumn and winter months. Flooding causes problems in dense urban environments where the water often cannot penetrate into the ground and rainwater collection...
