Uppsalahem began the fall of 2009 a pilot project for the renovation of one of its buildings in the neighbourhood Gröna gatan 2 in Uppsala.
The ambition of BeBo's demonstration projects is that development projects will halve its energy use. Energy calculations have been carried out to investigate and what measures could have Gröna gatan to achieve a halving of energy consumption, and calculate the savings for the measures eventually took place.
The energy saving measures chosen was mainly the installation of an FTX unit with rotary heat exchangers, individual metering of hot water, LED lighting in stairwells, additional insulation of the attic and the exterior wall inside the embrasures and renovation of windows. Total estimated the package provide an energy saving of about 50%.
