- Abstract
- The subject sustainability is taking a great amount of spotlight in most debates of modern society. This time the focus is on business models and marketing as well as the influences that sustainable certification systems have within the building sector. Especially when constructing new buildings, the new and stricter sustainability laws and certifications are setting the foundations of a new era. The interest shown in updating already existing buildings to uphold the newer standards are often outshone in comparison by inventing revolutionizing techniques and making investments for new construction. Most buildings that exist today have been built before the 21st century and will still be standing for many years to come. These buildings are... (More)

This time the focus is on business models and marketing as well as the influences that sustainable certification systems have within the building sector. Especially when constructing new buildings, the new and stricter sustainability laws and certifications are setting the foundations of a new era. The interest shown in updating already existing buildings to uphold the newer standards are often outshone in comparison by inventing revolutionizing techniques and making investments for new construction. Most buildings that exist today have been built before the 21st century and will still be standing for many years to come. These buildings are constantly in need of maintenance and therefore there is great potential to invest in sustainable renovation and maintenance, instead of making minimal efforts. In connection with renovation, a building oftentimes can be certified by sustainability assessment systems for existing buildings. Before renovation takes place, the building’s condition should be screened regarding various aspects – both in order to identify critical actions and to map the building’s potential for sustainable investments, as well as potentially qualifying for a sustainability certificate. Such screening requires well designed tools, which not only consist of the technical equipment needed for executing building specific inspections, but also strategies to adjust screening to the sustainability perspective. The company AddBrain assists property managers in creating strategies for sustainable property management. To adapt the sustainability perspective in their own work, AddBrain is looking to develop a self-evaluation tool to assess whether, and to what extent, they are operating in an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable way. This thesis’ aim has been to develop a model of said self-evaluation tool in cooperation with AddBrain. The model is made to simplify and prioritize this usually expensive and time-consuming process to make it easier and more affordable to see the big picture. More thorough and precise investigations can be performed later on if needed. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Hållbarhetsfrågor tar stort fokus i dagens debatter, personliga livsstilar samt företagens marknadsföring och affärsmodeller. Miljöarbetet i byggsektorn drivs framåt via bland annat miljöcertifieringssystem. Framförallt nybyggnation präglas idag starkt av skärpta miljölagkrav och miljöcertifieringar tillämpas här i stor utsträckning. Vikten av miljöarbetet med redan befintliga byggnader hamnar ofta i bakgrunden när revolutionerande tekniker och satsningar för hållbar nybyggnation diskuteras. De flesta byggnader som finns idag är byggda före 2000-talet och kommer att stå kvar om många år. Detta innebär att det i många år framöver kommer att finnas ett stort renoveringsbehov av vårt byggnadsbestånd. Här finns en stor potential att vid... (More)
- Hållbarhetsfrågor tar stort fokus i dagens debatter, personliga livsstilar samt företagens marknadsföring och affärsmodeller. Miljöarbetet i byggsektorn drivs framåt via bland annat miljöcertifieringssystem. Framförallt nybyggnation präglas idag starkt av skärpta miljölagkrav och miljöcertifieringar tillämpas här i stor utsträckning. Vikten av miljöarbetet med redan befintliga byggnader hamnar ofta i bakgrunden när revolutionerande tekniker och satsningar för hållbar nybyggnation diskuteras. De flesta byggnader som finns idag är byggda före 2000-talet och kommer att stå kvar om många år. Detta innebär att det i många år framöver kommer att finnas ett stort renoveringsbehov av vårt byggnadsbestånd. Här finns en stor potential att vid renoveringar arbeta med hållbarhetsfrågor för redan befintliga byggnader istället för att endast genomföra minimala renoveringsåtgärder. I samband med renoveringar kan byggnaden ofta förses med en miljöcertifiering för byggnader i drift. Innan renoveringsarbetet påbörjas bör byggnadens status inventeras med avseende på olika områden - dels för att identifiera nödvändiga renoveringsåtgärder, dels för att kartlägga potentialen att göra byggnaden mer hållbar och eventuellt uppnå kraven för en miljöcertifiering för byggnader i drift. En sådan inventering kräver välutformade verktyg, vilket inte bara omfattar den tekniska utrustningen för att utföra byggnadsspecifika undersökningar, utan även en strategi för att anpassa inventeringen till hållbarhetsperspektivet. Företaget AddBrain arbetar med bland annat inventeringar, åtgärdsplaner och renoveringar. För att bidra till ett mer hållbart samhälle har de haft som mål att låta hållbarhetsfrågan ta större plats i deras arbete. Detta examensarbete har gått ut på att tillsammans med AddBrain utveckla ett verktyg för att retrospektivt själv bedöma hur väl inventeringen av en förvaltnings organisation och byggnad blivit utförd.
