Design for efficiency
Design for efficiency contributes to decarbonizing both Skanska’s energy and material use in a cost- and resource efficient way. Key decarbonization levers are digital and technology development, efficient resource use, certifications and early engagement.
Enhancing efficiency and insight with digital tools
Digital solutions in our operations enhance efficiency and further reduce emissions through optimized design, planning tools and digital carbon calculation. By using 3D models of buildings and infrastructure projects we improve visualization, coordination and collaboration with customers. This helps identify opportunities and risks early in the design phase, reducing errors and rework during construction and thereby avoiding emissions and use of resources.
We also use project efficiency tools, innovations developed by Skanska and partners such as Takta or Ditio, which allow improved planning, execution, monitoring and reporting in projects. They enable efficient allocation of resources and provide insights into safety management and productivity measures such as material, fuel and energy usage as well as equipment needs, while facilitating collaboration among teams through a shared view of project status.
We offer climate calculations and solutions to achieve sustainability certifications for our customers. In the USA Skanska cofounded Building Transparency which makes its Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) system available to the industry.
Investor demand for sustainable, energy-efficient properties continues and certified assets are commanding valuation premiums in the market. We see a strong customer demand for certifications within construction projects.
