Self-Heating Buildings with High Standards

All ByggVesta's newly-built housing are so-called Self-Heating Buildings. The buildings have no radiators and are mostly heated by incoming sunlight, household appliances, lighting, activity and by the tenants themselves with an extra input from district heating.

All ready for a good life

A ByggVesta building is planned, designed and constructed to be good to live in. The apartments are high standard with fully-tiled bathrooms, with their own washing machines and tumble driers, parquet flooring in all the rooms and painted walls.

Great care has been taken to make the apartments well laid-out, space-efficient and functional. Most apartments have a patio, a balcony, or a glass-walled loggia. A ByggVesta Self-Heating Building has been constructed taking into account today's climate changes and it uses much less energy. It is based on three important factors: insulation, heating and individual metering of heating, electricity and hot water. By insulating properly, nearly all the heat generated by people and appliances can be recycled thanks to an efficient ventilation system, and the building is heated by all the apartments' combined heat. The building also has heat recycling and has been built using climate-friendly materials. It has an efficient waste management system, energy-efficient lighting and space-efficient floor plan which makes it possible to reduce energy consumption throughout its whole life cycle. 

Fortunately there is no conflict between what is good for the environment and a good living environment, which is why our properties are also modern, practical and beautiful places to live in.

The Kajutan property in Hammarby Sjöstad has become a new standard for how much energy a modern building needs to consume.
