Miljöbarometern för bygg- och fastighetssektorn 2006 - en kartläggning av sektorns miljöarbete
- 2007
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Studien har kartlagt företagens syn på miljöutmaningen, responsen på densamma samt resultatet av genomfört miljöarbete. Enkätstudien som genomfördes under hösten 2006 riktades till miljöansvariga i inom svensk bygg- och fastighetssektor, av totalt 542 företag svarade 246. Resultaten visar att företagen upplever att miljöproblemen minskat något eller varit oförändrade under den senaste fyraårsperioden, men också att sektorn fortfarande kämpar med energifrågan och bruk av ej förnyelsebara material. Företagen fortsätter dessutom att lägga resurser på avfallshantering och miljöledningssystem. Företagen uppskattar att de främst uppnått resultat inom källsortering och kemikalieanvändning. I grova drag har bygg- och fastighetsföretagen under den senaste perioden satsat ännu mer på det man redan satsat mycket på. Resultaten visar att hindren för att göra gröna affärer idag upplevs mer framträdande, vilket lett till att fler tappat tron på marknadsmekanismer som lösning på problemen. Istället har lagstiftande åtgärder som främsta lösning stärkts. Under perioden har konceptet hållbar utveckling fått genomslag, även om det hittills inte påverkat organiseringen av arbetet i företagen. Slutsatsen som dras är att företagen inom bygg- och fastighetssektorn har ett aktivt miljöarbete men att utvecklingen på området uppvisar en viss utvecklingströghet. Studien identifierar sex möjliga orsaker till denna tröghet vilka presenteras i rapporten.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Over the last two decades the Swedish building industry has made much effort to develop green building practices. Researchers within the field have provided theoretical knowledge on how to design green buildings and analytical environmental management tools have been developed to guide practitioners. Information campaigns have raised the general environmental awareness among building practitioners. In spite of these efforts, mainstream building practices do not seem to have undergone any marked changes. This raises the question of how environmental issues actually are dealt with in the building industry. Has the development stagnated and, if so, why? What causes green innovation inertia in the Swedish building industry? What makes it slow? This paper provides some answers to these questions by empirically examining environmental attitudes, management and performance in the industry. The paper is based on a structured questionnaire survey directed to environmental managers at all companies in Sweden with at least 50 employees within technical consultants, building constructors, and property owners and managers and companies with at least 20 employees within architecture. The response rate was 45.4% which corresponds to 246 respondents. The study detects possible causes to deficiencies and creates larger understanding as to why the development, despite much effort, sometimes does not go in the direction as intended by top management. Focusing on relations between the definition of environmental challenge, measures adopted and results from measures, the paper identifies trends and institutionalising processes that hinder sustainable development within the building industry.

Future Challenges for Renovation as Experienced by Swedish Housing Companies
- 2017
-
In: Proceedings from the World Sustainable Built Environment Conference 2017 Hong Kong 5-7 June. - Hong Kong. ; , s. 647-652
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is an extensive need for renovation in the existing housing stock and an increased rate of renovationactivities is necessary not only to meet international climate and energy targets, but also in order to ensure buildings functions, technical qualities and to provide a good living environment. Thus, the challenges for the housing companies is to meet and balance all the different needs. Research focus on the development of decision supporttools and expansion of the renovation discussion from not only a technical issue but also to include a socialperspective. But how do housing companies manage renovation activities in a broader perspective and what arethe related future challenges in renovation and transformation of building stocks? The aim of this study toinvestigate how larger housing companies act in renovation projects and to identify perceived challenges in relationto renovation. A questionnaire survey directed to the Swedish housing sector has been carried out including allhousing companies with more than 20 employees. Out of 198 companies, 76 companies responded, which corresponds to a response rate of 38 percent. Results show that even if companies have environmental and energy goals or policies, only minor energy efficiency measurements are carried out in renovation projects. Social aspects are increasingly addressed both in policy and renovation. The largest challenges are economy and a limitation of the rent increases in order to ensure that the residents can remain in the apartment or in the housing area after renovation, i.e. to find appropriate rent levels. With a starting point in Swedish conditions, the results are of interest or the transformation process of the European housing stock.
