Brunnshög, Lund’s new city district

The energy utility a main driver:

• Sustainable energy master planning

• Energy scenarios

• Energy supply

• Measures for a CO2 neutral city district

• Smart grids

• Climate adaptation

• Strategic advice

H+ a sustainable city district in Helsingborg

Energy positive

Primary energy

Cost neutral

Best Practice

Another energy utility driven development:

Can the energy positive goal be achieved in the H+ district?

Sustainable City Districts – a comparison

In common:

1) Low energy demand

2) Renewable energy

BREEAM Communities paves the way

Sustainable City Districts – key learnings

Integrated services necessary for sustainable development

Involve important stakeholders as early as possible – area specific

agreements have proven to be very useful

Build on existing knowledge, check what other cities have done before

getting started

An early analysis of potential conflicts of interest can help avoid a lot of

problems later in the development

A sustainability coordinator makes a huge difference

Sustainability certification schemes can help organise the work efficiently

It’s like a relay race, efficient handovers between phases are crucial
