Challenge / Goal
The City of Stockholm aimed energy retrofitting actions in 2 tertiary industrial buildings. One of the buildings is a cultural centre named Tarmrenseriet, and the second, Kylhuset includes 2 offices complex buildings, both from 1901.
Just like most old buildings there are problems with thermal bridges and the fact that the climate shell is not airtight. This in combination with today’s standard of desirable indoor temperature leads to high energy consumption, since the warm air leaks out and cold air finds its way in.
Solution
The City of Stockholm has implemented energy retrofitting actions in 2 tertiary buildings. One of the buildings is a cultural centre named Tarmrenseriet, and the second, Kylhuset includes 2 offices complex buildings. Installation of adaptive control system for heating & ventilation, heat recovery in the ventilation system, excess heat from the kitchen to heat hot water, integrated PV in the glass of the skylight with battery storage and smart energy management system, insulation of the roof and a waste heat recovery system from nearby building.
