NCC develops eco-smart office at Ullevi in Gothenburg

In January 2011, NCC will start construction work on the 16-story office
building at Ullevi in central Gothenburg. The property will be certified
under the BREEAM accreditation system and the level has been
pre-classified as “Very good”. The energy consumption is calculated to
be at least 35 percent lower than the norm recommended for new-built
properties, which also makes it a GreenBuilding. NCC's investment is
approximately SEK 300 million.

The entire project will be permeated by climate-smart solutions,
including the building materials and indoor climate system:
“We are investing in structured environmental work in the Ullevi project
because we know that our future tenants and investors demand
environmentally adapted offices,” says Manne Aronsson, Regional Manager
at NCC Property Development.   “For example, we will have district
heating and cooling, green roofs, lockable bike stands and changing
rooms for cyclists, separate meters for water, electricity and heating,
and CO2 demand-controlled ventilation.”

Measuring electricity and heat separately is not very common today. The
advantage of separate measurements is that tenants only pay for their
own consumption. That encourages them to lower their energy consumption,
thereby reducing their environmental impact. “The property's central
location also contributes to a climate-smart workplace, with access to
good public transport and bike paths. Central Station is only a stone's
throw away,” says Manne Aronsson.

The building will comprise about 14,000 square meters, which is mainly
office space but also a restaurant and stores on the ground level.
Interest in renting premises in the property has been strong, and we
believe that the timing of the production start is perfect due to the
shortage of new and modern office premises in Gothenburg. The property
is scheduled for completion at the end of 2012.
