Green Building

Green Building is EU’s programme to reduce energy consumption of premises with the aim of encouraging construction of more energy-efficient office and industrial buildings by information and good examples. To be certified, new buildings must use 25 per cent less energy than that stated in the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s standards for new construction. In refurbishment, consumption shall decrease by at least 25 per cent.

A property owner with a portfolio where at least 30 per cent of the buildings comply with the requirements can become a certified partner.

Concept building Klövern
A concept building for offices has been produced during the year. The concept building consists of 4,000–6,000 sq.m. The intention is for Klövern to be able to construct this building at a number of locations where there is a demand for modern offices.

The concept building has been produced on the basis of the demands of presumed tenants for, among other things, flexibility as well as environmental and cost efficiency. Environmental and energy requirements are set at a high level for Klövern’s concept building, and the building will accordingly be designed for lower energy consumption than that required by the EU energy classification “Green Building”, among other ways, by tried and tested long-term energy solutions.
Construction of Klövern’s first concept building has started in Kista. This construction is due to a newly-signed lease with Ericsson which includes a new office building of almost 27,000 sq.m.
