In a groundbreaking project with stringent environmental performance requirements, Skanska is building the new headquarters for the Swedish National
Along the waterfront in Karlskrona, construction has begun on Boverket's new headquarters, designed by
During an early climate analysis, it was observed that the largest carbon dioxide emissions came from piling, the structure, and the extensive façade glass, accounting for 85 percent of emissions. To achieve the goals, innovative solutions were required - where one of the keys to success was found locally.
Initially, the plan was to use a double shell façade, but due to significant carbon dioxide emissions, a rethink was necessary. Instead, the double façade with its integrated blinds was replaced with standard single façade with dynamic glass from
The product, ConverLight, is an advanced technology where an electrochromic foil is laminated into the glass to regulate the intensity of sunlight and heat penetration into buildings. When the sun shines, the control system darkens the glass, significantly reducing the need for air conditioning. Similarly, solar heat can be allowed in during the winter to reduce energy consumption and heating costs. This solution also provides a natural daylight effect and unobstructed views - offering several positive health benefits for the over 250 people who will work in the building.
- Dynamic glass is a key component in creating future energy-efficient and eco-friendly properties. Just by replacing the glass, a property's energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40%. Moreover, offering Boverket employees a fantastic view of the water and the surroundings is another added value of our solution. It will be a fantastic building, which will include the largest curved electrochromic glass in the world. We are now looking forward to being an active partner in this innovative sustainability project alongside Skanska, Boverket, and
