Finnish organizations are conducting a feasibility study to demonstrate improved indoor air quality (IAQ) technologies in Beijing schools. The study aims to identify market potential and appropriate business models for Finnish IAQ companies. A "Dream Team" of Finnish technology providers will work with GreenStream Network, who has experience implementing energy efficiency projects in China using an energy management company model. The feasibility study will involve visiting schools to assess IAQ issues and determine which Finnish solutions could be piloted to develop a showcase project and references for companies. The goal is to combine Finnish IAQ and educational expertise to develop a comprehensive offering for China.

2. Gateway to environmentally
friendly learning environment
• Finland is a forerunner in learning environments
as well as in air quality research
• Previously air quality expertise and educational
know-how have been exported separately
• During the spring of 2016 Finpro, GreenStream
Network and VTT decided to build a
comprehensive offering to China, combining
Finnish robust expertise in technologies in the
fields of both IAQ and education
”The Finnish approach
is to build a fun and
enjoyable learning
environment for the
students, where they
are interested to learn
new things.”
Chinese Teacher, Shanghai,
Helsingin Sanomat 29.8.2015

3. • In May 2016 the final project plan was ready and in late June
Tekes approved our application for the financial support for the
feasibility study phase
• During June-December 2016 a feasibility study will be done to
identify market potential for Finnish IAQ technology companies
and experts in Chinese schools
• Business models
• Appropriate financing models
• Potential pilot school for demonstration project

4. Why should Chinese schools be
interested in Finnish IAQ know-how?

8. 8
• Introduce the project to Finnish companies
• Travel to China to introduce the project and
its participating companies to Beijing
Schools
• To utilise Finpro’s network and high-level
relationships to get connected with the local
schools in Beijing
• Beijing has about 30 school with ice hockey
team
• Helsinki-Beijing sister city relationships
• During the Moi Helsinki –event in May,
already 2 schools were visited
First steps of the project

9. • School environments vary a lot in
Beijing
• Not all schools have cantines
 Lunch served in classrooms
• No possibility to air the
classrooms
• Only about 5 % of the schools
have mechanical ventilation
system
First observations

10. Ventilation should provide 6 litres of fresh air
every second for each student in the classroom
Finland’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, regulation 545/2015

11. Report by
Finnish National Instutute for Health and Welfare, 2.8.2016
• In the spring of 2016, a study was done in dozens
of Finnish schools regarding IAQ
• The results showed that to ensure sufficient
ventilation in classrooms, the ventilation should
be adjusted based on the number of students in
the classroom

12. Report by
Finnish National Instutute for Health and Welfare, 2.8.2016:
”In classrooms where indoor air ventilation met the required levels,
pupils’ ability to solve mathematical problems was approximately 4 %
higher compared to the classrooms with poor indoor air quality.”

13. What should
we do ?

14. Targets of the Feasibility Study in Beijing Schools
• To identify how willing the schools are to make a HVAC
renovation
• What other options there are to improve IAQ at schools
and their sports halls than making HVAC renovation?
• Clean classroom concept
• Personalized ventilation
• Healthy sports hall
• Heat recovery & cooling opportunities
• Something else?
• Why is the Finnish offering better than anyone else’s?
