Environmental classification and certification

For new builds and major refurbishments, Fabege offers various systems of environmental classification and certification. For a number of years, classification in accordance with the SGBC principles has been the minimum level.

It was decided in 2012 that as of 2013 new builds of office buildings are to be constructed so that they also conform to the requirements of the BREEAM environmental classification system.

Miljöbyggnad
Sweden Green Building Council is a certification system based on regulations from the Swedish construction industry and public agencies, as well as Swedish construction practices. Certification provides a guarantee of a building’s critical qualities in terms of energy, the indoor environment and materials.
GreenBuilding
GreenBuilding is an EU i nitiative to promote reduced energy consumption. To gain certification, the building must use 25 per cent less energy than previously, or compared with the requirements of the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning.
Breeam
BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is an environmental classification system that originated in the UK. The system encompasses project management, the building’s energy use, indoor climate conditions, water consumption and waste management, as well as land use and the building’s impact on the surrounding area.
