Hagastaden Residential Apartments - Miljöbyggnad
Project Information:
Type: Residential, code compliance, labels and standards (certification)
Consultant: EQUA
Client: Einar Mattsson
Summary: Residential apartment building certified according to Swedish green building system Miljöbyggnad, using dedicated IDA ICE extension. Both apartments and systems were modified as a result of the simulation model.
Challenge
The project involved construction of a large multi-storey residential building in Stockholm, Sweden. The building was to be certified according to the green building system Miljöbyggnad which rates the building in fifteen different aspects (indicators). Example system requirements included energy use, heating demand, thermal comfort, maximum solar load and daylight. Finding, for example, the optimum glazing sizes and types placed a major challenge on the project, and previous approaches included the use of several types of software, resulting in an extremely time-consuming process.
Solution
Result
The apartments and systems of the building complex were modified based on the result from the simulation model. The requirements for the indicators of Miljöbyggnad were met to ensure occupants health and comfort, as well as a low energy consumption.
