Ylä-Kivelä is a residential apartment block in Keuruu, central Finland. The block was built in 1980 and has 40 apartments, mostly owner-occupied or private rentals; around 50-60 residents live there. In 2009, the block became the first in Finland to replace its oil-based heating system with a solar thermal and pellet heating system. Since then, they have hosted visits and shared their experiences with other apartment blocks.
