Sustainability Case Studies

Öresund Green is Skanska’s own type of single-family passive house and was first constructed as part of the Strandgränd residential project in Bunkeflostrand, southern Sweden.

The passive house residential project in Kinna, Sweden, was the first passive house in Sweden to be built with prefabricated concrete sections, which led to the economical construction of an ultra-low energy apartment building.

Blå Jungfrun is an energy efficient apartment project in Stockholm that was constructed to passive house standards with proven conventional construction techniques.

Skanska Sweden used passive house techniques to refurbish rundown apartment buildings in Brogården, Alingsås, Southern Sweden, into modern and energy efficient homes.

Lindhagensterrassen is a residential project in central Stockholm that pioneered the use of roof-mounted solar panels to generate electricity for communal lighting and electric vehicle charging stations.

The Sandgrind residential project in Kungsängen, northwest of Stockholm, Sweden, consists of energy efficient houses with geothermal heating systems. It was constructed in harmony with the surrounding natural and cultural environment.

Based on principles of urban ecology, Pilestredet Park is a mixed-use urban redevelopment project in central Oslo, Norway. Innovative techniques for the reuse of demolition materials were developed and strict sustainability objectives were met.

Badedammen Vest is an energy efficient residential development in Stavanger, Norway, which sources renewable heating and cooling from a seawater heat pump system.

Skanska is designing and constructing a number of residential projects in southern Sweden that meet passive house standards and consume significantly less energy for heating than conventional buildings. The projects include newly constructed apartments and the refurbishment of existing properties with passive house techniques that provide good insight into the economic viability of passive housing.

Eko-Viikki is an ecological suburb in Helsinki, Finland, which has pioneered sustainable construction techniques to minimise the overall impact of residential buildings throughout their lifespan and to promote more sustainable living.
