Environmental construction
The Behavioral Science House met the requirements for Environmental Building level Silver when certifying an existing building in 2014.
Miljöbyggnad is a certification system for creating environmentally sustainable buildings. It is based on Swedish building and authority regulations and Swedish building practice. Miljöbyggnad is a receipt for important qualities of a building in terms of energy, indoor environment and materials and is used for newly produced and existing buildings regardless of size. In Miljöbyggnad, a building can achieve a bronze, silver or gold rating. Behind the certification is the non-profit association Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC).
Environmental Construction in Operation
The Behavioral Science Building has since been further certified at the Silver level in Miljöbyggnad iDrift in 2025.
Miljöbyggnad iDrift provides proof that buildings are not only built but also managed in an environmentally sustainable way. Being a tenant in a certified building means being responsible for using the premises and the building to create the least possible environmental impact. In order for the property to retain its certification, it is important that you as a tenant know what applies. This building guide contains information about how the building works and tips on what you as a tenant can influence. If you have any questions, please contact your contact person at Akademiska Hus, or alternatively contact customer service.
