Background City of Helsinki has a mission to be carbon neutral in 2050. There’s a half a million visitors in Korkeasaari Zoo every year. Hence Korkeasaari has a lot of visibility and a great chance to be the trailblazer and advisor when Helsinki is reaching towards carbon neutrality. The Zoo would set an example and educate visitors and corporations to act in an environmentally friendly manner. Carbon neutral Korkeasaari will improve the whole image of Helsinki and Finland. Environmental friendliness will again make the Zoo more fascinating and stimulating, which has a positive impact on visitor satisfaction. With smart actions it is possible to decrease energy consumption and thereby decrease costs of energy in Korkeasaari. Previous energy review for Korkeasaari was done in 1998. In 2016 Korkeasaari and the city of Helsinki began planning new energy vision for the zoo. New strategy is to transform Korkeasaari carbon neutral by 2025. Buildings and structures of the zoo are old and thereby neither in good condition nor energy efficient. Korkeasaari forms also a significant part of the electricity consumption of Helsinki. Thus the zoo is a great target for energy saving actions. Important ways to achieve carbon neutrality is decreasing energy consumption and implementing renewable energy production on site. These actions must be defined. Already at this point there has been small environmentally friendly actions in the zoo. Solar panels have been installed in Lauttaranta and on top of the administrative building. Tropical building will be renovated and there is still a good chance to effect on the technical implementation. Visitor travelling is also a significant contributor to carbon emissions, but it is outside the scope of this project as it is not necessarily something the zoo can decide. This project will be implemented in small phases. In initial planning Korkeasaari decided to include Aalto University to study suitable actions for them. Since the students taking part of this project are studying electrical engineering, they will concentrate on reducing waste of electrical energy in Korkeasaari. However it is not enough just to reduce carbon footprint, in this case it is as important to communicate and show to visitors and other parties what actions have been done. With a good communication plan Korkeasaari can educate and show what good actions have been implemented. Thus a new communication strategy is also planned in this project. 2. Expected output The final outcome is a written report which provides Korkeasaari with technical solutions to get closer to carbon neutrality, the high level goal of Helsinki city. The report consists of four main parts: 1. A literature review over means to reduce waste of electricity 2. Select suitable technologies and equipment to be adapted to Korkeasaari 3. Estimate of the impact of the actions on business 4. Plan on the communication strategy of the energy saving actions In a literature review different means to reduce waste of electricity and to increase energy efficiency in buildings and public places are explored. It is necessary to have knowledge of the latest technologies and applications that are available and in use around the world. After that suitable technologies are selected and they are adapted to Korkeasaari by mapping the practical equipment and actions. The main focus is on reduction of electricity consumption in Korkeasaari zoo. As the high level goal of Helsinki city is to zero the carbon footprint of Korkeasaari, the project output may involve also other means to reduce waste of energy than only electricity savings. Eventually many of the actions in order to save energy are related to each other. They shouldn’t be separated only because of the main emphasis of this project. Weather conditions play also a big role in energy consumption issues of infrastructure. Thus it is important to look at the possibilities from Finland and Korkeasaari point of view. The impact of energy saving actions on business of Korkeasaari is evaluated as well. Implementing new technologies in the zoo causes costs while reduced waste of energy brings savings on annual energy expenses. It is essential to estimate the overall economical influence. “A green image” is also often beneficial in business in these day Going carbon neutral is a worldwide future goal in infrastructure and industry. However the transition process goes ahead in small steps. Every single project towards the common goal is important. It is crucial to communicate such projects in public to encourage others to reduce carbon footprint by giving them an example how to do that. In addition, as the capital and the biggest city of Finland, Helsinki city is responsible for developing city infrastructure more environmentally friendly and communicating it in public. In Korkeasaari case publicity over green actions may also attract more visitors to the zoo. Thus planning communication strategy is a part of this project. The goal of the project is to provide Helsinki city with a good quality report which they can benefit from when constructing Korkeasaari zoo towards carbon neutrality. The success of the project is determined by the quality of the report. It is considered good if Helsinki city and Korkeasaari find the report useful and implement some of the suggested actions in the zoo. 3.
