Skanska’s Journey to Deep Green – a 2 degree solution
Summary
Skanska advocates for a progressive COP21 agreement to provide legislative certainty for green investments and details its 'Journey to Deep Green' strategy. This approach focuses on near zero environmental impact and net zero energy performance, as demonstrated by the Solallén residential neighbourhood in Sweden and the Bentley Works facility in the UK, both of which utilize solar and renewable energy systems to reduce carbon footprints.
Key insights
- Skanska's 'Journey to Deep Green' strategy focuses on projects with near zero environmental impact that require Net Zero or better Energy performance, developed in collaboration with customers, municipalities, and suppliers.
- The Solallén residential neighbourhood in Växjö, Sweden, serves as a Deep Green project where townhouses produce more energy than they consume annually through geothermal systems and roof-mounted photovoltaic solar systems.
- The Bentley Works facility in Doncaster, UK, is Skanska's first Deep Green project in that country, designed for net zero primary energy using biomass boilers and a solar photovoltaic system.
