Akademiska Hus building “Sing Sing” at KTH was a pilot project in the development of the new certification system Miljöbyggnad iDrift and has now been certified to level Silver. iDrift was launched in 2020 and aims to strengthen the sustainability performance of existing buildings by focusing on the design, technology, operation and management of existing buildings.
Characteristic of Miljöbyggnad iDrift is that the development of the certification system has taken place in close collaboration with the Swedish real estate industry. After passing the certification, the property owner can choose to apply for higher grades by supplementing their certification and reporting fulfillment of more optional criteria and having them reviewed and approved.
Akademiska Hus, and other property owners, get a clear connection to the Swedish environmental goals through the new certification for existing buildings; limited climate impact, fresh air, non-toxic environment, protective ozone layer, safe radiant environment and good quality water. There are also clear links to the UN's Global Goals.
