Sustainability is about more than just a great sustainability rating
The most spectacular aspect of the energy solution is that it distributes energy among the various buildings according to need. Water temperature and solar insulation values are used in conjunction with forecasts and statistical weather data to adjust energy consumption.
This applies not only to heating and cooling, but also to the use of daylight compensation lighting.
The environmental measures and energy solutions have led to the Waterfront Building being awarded the prestigious LEED Gold certification, an international environmental standard and the most widely acclaimed certification system in the world. The acknowledgement from LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) recognises the building’s consideration of environmental aspects such as water and energy consumption.
The digital infrastructure at Waterfront Building has been awarded WiredScore Platinum, the highest level of WiredScore’s international certification system. This recognition demonstrates that the property is among the very best when it comes to connectivity, resilience, and future-proofing for digital services. For our tenants, it ensures a secure and reliable digital working environment with access to the market’s most advanced internet and network solutions.
In the heart of the city, our property stands as an eco-friendly haven with a unique combination of a beehive and a sedum roof. These elements form an ecological oasis amidst urban surroundings. Our beehive supports critical pollinators, aiding in the pollination of plants and ensuring diverse flora. Meanwhile, our sedum roof, a resilient and low-maintenance greenery, counters the urban heat island effect, improves air quality, absorbs rainwater, and provides natural insulation. This innovative blend of nature and urbanity not only enhances biodiversity but also fosters a sustainable and more beautiful city. Join us in nurturing this green sanctuary.
The key to the green solution is that the Waterfront Building shares its energy system with the hotel and congress centre in the Stockholm Waterfront complex.
250 tonnes of ice is stored for use together with water from Lake Klara Sjö to regulate the temperature in the buildings, partly for thermal dumping, but also as a heat source in the winter and free cooling when the temperature in the water is sufficiently low. This technology is unique in the world.
The solar panels of the Waterfront Building complex produce 1,000,000 watts of thermal energy every day. That equals:
