Svanens kriterium Gröna Grepp : En kartläggning av poänggivande åtgärder

Sammanfattning: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate what measures the Nordic building company JM AB are using or plan to use to get points in the criterion, of the nordic eco-labeling company Svanen, that they call “Gröna Grepp”. The criterion “Gröna Grepp” aims to implement measures that benefit ecosystems, social sustainability, and energy efficiency. Methods: Three methods were used to complete the study. A literature study was used for searching facts about the subject and support why these measures are important. An interview study was made with the project managers at JM to investigate which points in the criterion they had taken or was planning to take. A survey was also performed with the general public to investigate their views of the measures in the criterion. Results: The study resulted in that 41 % of the investigated projects at JM are using their basic license which consists of solutions such as that 10% of the parking spaces must be adapted to be able to charge an electric car and at least 50% of the bicycle spaces are placed under a roof. The survey indicated that people in society were most interested in being able to charge electric cars and in being able to measure their energy consumption. But other aspects were also discovered from the survey and presented in the results. Conclusions: The conclusion is that the criterion Gröna grepp contributes in a positive way to several aspects. And that one should therefore invest more in Gröna grepp in the future. Taken together, one should invest more in implementing ecosystems and greenery in cities through well-planned gardens or growing boxes.
