EPBD and EED Implications for Swedish Real Estate
EPBD and EED Implications for Swedish Real Estate The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) are two EU directives of great importance for all new and existing buildings in all member states. These two directives have existed for a long time within the EU but have been revised and […]
Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions
Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions When planning the energy efficiency of the climate shell of an older building, it is not particularly certain that you know how external walls, roofs, etc. are built up. Visually, it is impossible to determine, and drawings or other documents that could reveal how the […]
What Is Important to You When Choosing a Tool to Prioritize Profitable Energy Renovations in Your Property Portfolio?
What Is Important to You When Choosing a Tool to Prioritize Profitable Energy Renovations in Your Property Portfolio? Perform quick analyses in the early stages of the project? Work independently with reduced need for external help? Smooth collaboration on modelling? To quickly get started with the energy modelling in BIM Energy, the building’s construction year […]
The EU Building Efficiency Directive (EPBD) Adoption: A Closer Look
The EU Building Efficiency Directive (EPBD) Adoption: A Closer Look On 12 April 2024, the European Council, as the last and decisive body within the EU, adopted the proposal for a new directive on the energy performance of buildings, EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive). What will now happen at the EU level is that […]
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre Properties can be made more energy efficient essentially in two different ways: through building- or installation technology, and usually both ways are combined. In this blog post, we concentrate on building engineering improvements. Why invest in the climate shell? Energy-efficient properties are well-insulated and airtight. This […]
See the building’s energy class – new feature in BIM Energy Renovation
See the building’s energy class – new feature in BIM Energy Renovation A new feature in BIM Energy Renovation is the presentation of the building’s energy class. The building’s primary energy number is calculated and compared against the Swedish building requirements in BBR 29. This allows for studying how the building’s energy class changes with […]

Public Housing Sweden clarifies the consequences of upcoming energy renovation requirements Public Housing Sweden is a trade and interest organization for over 300 public benefit municipal and private housing companies in the country. The number of apartments in the public sector is close to one million – almost 20% of all housing in Sweden, thus […]
EU directive on energy use in buildings – What’s going on?
EU directive on energy use in buildings – What’s going on? The European Union has strong ambitions in terms of sustainability and climate adaptation. Overall, this is formulated in the EU’s climate law from 2021. The law establishes the Union’s goal for Europe’s economy and society to become climate-neutral by the year 2050. In addition, […]
Profitable energy renovation – new calculation tool In BIM Energy Renovation
Profitable energy renovation – new calculation tool In BIM Energy Renovation In BIM Energy Evaluation, there are two methods for assessing the economic consequences of renovation, measures proposed by the user to reduce energy use in a building. With these methods, payback time or energy savings cost (or both) are calculated. The payback time speaks […]
