Energy efficiency and sustainable use of natural resources in the Port of Tallinn

06 May 2021

The Port of Tallinn has set itself the goal of increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy, while keeping an eye on the sustainable use of all natural resources. In planning buildings and infrastructure, the Port has implemented Digital Building Information Modelling (BIM), which facilitates the improvement of the functionality of the facilities and implements sustainable solutions in the design phase. In 2019, the Port Authority installed solar panels for heating and generating domestic water at the Muuga Harbour, using automated building management systems at all passenger terminals and offices (Smart Building), increasing the use of LED lights for the Port’s indoor and outdoor lighting and reducing energy consumption at night. The cruise terminal, which is managed by the port authority will use sea water for heating and cooling and will obtain additional electricity from solar panels once completed in 2021.
