Building automation in Kauniainen
In Kauniainen the housing companies are small: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and apartment buildings with a few stairwells, where heat distribution is building-specific and the automation is light. The problem of one heating curve is nevertheless the same as in a large building, and measurement in the flats is worthwhile. Kauniainen is a neighbour of Espoo, so a technician is on site quickly.

Non-residential buildings in Kauniainen
Kauniainen has few non-residential buildings: 22 educational buildings, 8 retail buildings, 8 healthcare buildings and 2 office buildings. In a small town a single school or day-care centre is a large part of the whole building stock. A different rule applies to non-residential buildings than to housing companies. A building other than a residential building, whose heating or air conditioning system has a nominal power above 290 kilowatts, must have an automation and control system, and for buildings already in use the deadline was 31 December 2024. Whether the limit is exceeded depends on the power rating, not on the type of building. Automation requirement Source: Helsinki Region Statistics (Statistics Finland), building stock 2024.
