Ett attraktivt och offentligt passivhus - gestaltning av kulturhus i Örnsköldsvik centrum

Sammanfattning: The municipality of Örnsköldsvik has for a long time planned to establish a culture house in the centrum area. An investigation was started during the spring 2017 to develop local programs and analysis of needs with the keywords; attractive, width and tip, the building should also breathe sustainable construction. These factors were one of the reasons why the interest was raised to investigate how an attractive and public passive house can be designed. The study focuses to develop conceptual architectural drawings and recommended building techniques for passive house. During the investigation have a quantity of places in Örnsköldsvik been appointed as potential for the planned culture house, the property Örnsköldsvik 8:27 was one of them. The location is centrally placed in the urban city of Örnsköldsvik, with walking distance to the travel center, the big square, trade and green areas. The urban analysis provides opportunities for the building to connect to existing paths, utilize the south and create social and attractive environments. In the theoretical studies of sustainable construction and passive houses, it is stated that building in the future is going to be on stricter terms, focus on human needs and quality of life, as well resource management should be adapted to circular flows. In the case of passive houses should the passive solar radiation be optimized trough the orientation of the building to south and the building form has an airtight construction. Solutions in the form of energy efficient windows, entrance doors and ventilation with heat recovery are important components for a complete passive house. Four reference projects are studied, two of them are public passive houses and two are culture houses, these provide good examples of how it can be realized. Attractiveness is difficult to define in terms of building design and thus a semantic environmental description is carried out to get an idea of what attractiveness is for a group of people in Örnsköldsvik. The survey shows that the building should be open, light, friendly and safe, as well giving an impression of neutrality between the word pairs masculine/feminine and homogeneous/chaotic. The result shows that there is potential to constructing an attractive passive house as a public building, as long continuous quality controls and god design during the construction process are taking place. However, it became evident that the culture house is a complex building that requires consideration for all premises to meet the need for the building, to remain the functional and attractive meeting place for all people.
