Short description of the pilot project
Part of the old primary school vill be renovated and a new part will be built. The facility is designed to meet high educational standards with areas for play and kreativity using the construction in the education (green rooms). The building is built mostly by wood holding 60 kwh/m2 and avoiding harzadous material. LCC is used in calculations and Basta or better standards for choosing construction material. All the work-package modules will be used and an expert will help with implementing the Sweby model.
Process and planning quality
The planning process starte already in 2008 and time has been used to look att best practice examples. Energy levels are based on the local climate- and energy plan. Focus is laid on sustainability.
Implementation of service package
All the work-package modules will be used and an expert will help with implementing the Sweby model. Quality assesment och follow up will be done by the Sveby modell, LCC is used in calculations and construction material will be chosen by att least Basta -standard.
Energy and Utilities
c) Primary energy demand
60-70 kwh/m2 is proposed which is the standard for minienergy buildings in accordance to FEBY. No cooling is needed but in the kitchen. The building will connect to the district heating system. Low energy light.
d) Renewable energy
The district heating system is fired by wood residues from the nearby forest and industries. Solar panels will be installed for educational purposes.
