Based on metered energy use, the average
annual energy consumption is 70 kWh/m²
(including heating, domestic hot water and
building electricity). This is 22% better than
applicable Swedish building code regulations
and means that buildings in the area meet the
zero-energy directive.
The technology used is Air Handling Units
(AHU) with heat exchangers, solar collectors/
panels and wastewater heat exchangers
installed by some developers. An R&D project
is exploring how data on a building’s energy
use can be collected for monitoring the energy
performance over time.
Mobility concepts
The area’s transport hierarchy prioritises walking
and cycling, followed by public transport. The
majority of developers meet parking space
requirements for cars (0,5 per apartment),
bicycles (2,5 per apartment), and electrical
charging points (20-50 %). With the introduction
of the Mobility Index, more flexible parking
options will be made available to motorists. The
number of bicycle parking spaces has increased
in each successive phase.
Proximity to private and public amenities and
public transport plays a key role in determining
travel patterns. Everyday amenities such as
supermarkets, pre-schools, bus stops, and the
underground stations are planned to be within
five minutes’ walk.
In Stockholm Royal Seaport, situated 3
kilometres from the city centre, a dense and
accessible urban environment is being created
with close access to amenities and parks. This
contributes to increased opportunities for good
mobility irrespective of age, disability, or other
individual circumstances.
Learnings & Success factors
• The interdepartmental project management led by the City Development Committee
and staffed by the City’s Development, Planning, Transport and Environment and Health
Administrations, leads to a more effective development process and supports leaving the silothinking.
• Working Groups with experts from different departments and city-owned companies move
certain issues forward faster and with relevant stakeholders involved.
• The use of consultants is a way to limit the organisational burden and gives the possibility to
involve highly competent experts
• The Capacity Development Programme by highlighting best practice and the latest research
increases knowledge and acceptance of the ambitious targets and sustainability requirements
among developers and their consultants.
• A strict and transparent monitoring process over all construction phases which is communicated
beforehand increases the ambition of developers and the skill set of local developers.
• Political will and appointing SRS as testbed paved the way towards a fossil free development.
Working document
• A wide consultation process was implemented to develop a common vision and targets for the
SRS.
