The place to be | Spa Hotel

The energy renovation of the Kunnonpaikka spa hotel on the outskirts of Kuopio improved the conditions and energy efficiency of the property.

LeaseGreen designed and implemented an extensive energy renovation of the property. In the future, air-to-water heat pumps will provide most of the heat needed for a property. However, district heating is still used alongside heat pumps for heating water and in the coldest weather. The energy renovation reduced the amount of district heating required by 76% and made Kunnonpaika almost entirely energy self-sufficient in heating. The change was also clearly visible below the line: the annual savings from the renovation were greater than the monthly renovation payments per year.

In addition to changing the heating system, the building automation, ventilation and cooling of the property were renewed.

“We want to offer customers a 22-degree hotel night even during the hottest weather,” says Timo Juurakko, Managing Director of Kunnonpaikka.

The property has a floor area of just over 19 000^m2 and was mainly built in the 1970s and 1980s.
