Positive energy result in Stockholm Royal Seaport
17 sep 2021For the eight consecutive year, Stockholm Royal Seaport has compiled an annual sustainability report. When the first buildings in the Brofästet phase reported energy use after one year of operation the result was positive. Four out of ten buildings meet the energy requirement. The plus energy buildings are 42 per cent better than the requirement, which indicates good form factor and good building and technical installation parameters.

Sustainable Development
In 2009, the Stockholm City Council decided that Stockholm Royal Seaport would be designated an area with an environmental profile with the mandate to determine what is possible in the current situation and push the boundaries where possible, to become a model of sustainable urban development.

Examples of awards
Winner of the Swedish Landscape Architecture Prize. The area received the 2019 Swedish Landscape Architecture Prize, partly in thanks to the project creating space for vegetation which provides both a sensory experience, and also a buffer against climate change. According to the jury, the space between Jaktgatan and Lövängsgatan is a great example of how dense, green cities can look in practice.
Prize for best sustainable urban development. In competition with other urban development projects around the world, Stockholm and Stockholm Royal Seaport received an award for best sustainable urban development project in the category Sustainable Communities. The award was presented at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris 2015 by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, a network connecting more than 80 of the world’s megacities. The award is proof that Stockholm is an international leader in sustainable urban development.
