Hanna Bodbacka, Head of Sustainability at Besqab, says:
“The agreement between Besqab and Plant clearly shows how data-driven decisions and innovative tools are becoming increasingly important in reducing the climate impact of construction and property. Understanding your impact and making active decisions that can then be reported clearly and transparently will be an important part of more climate-efficient construction and the industry's journey towards climate neutrality.”
The collaboration between Besqab and Plant starts with around 20 climate calculations at different stages. By following up forecasts alongside other relevant key figures, sustainability becomes part of decision-making. The platform increases understanding of which building components contribute most to the climate calculation. Using existing 3D models saves time and provides a guarantee of reliable results.
Pelle Tunell, CEO of Plant, says:
“Customers are now asking for completed climate calculations, software for their own calculations and our advice. We adapt our offering to each customer, and for Besqab that means delivering all these elements. This is an extensive agreement that makes Besqab a pioneer in sustainable construction.”
With climate calculations as support, Besqab can identify relevant measures to reduce its climate footprint at an early stage, in line with its sustainability strategy and stepped project climate-impact targets. The target value is set according to the year in which the project is expected to receive its building permit. For 2025, Besqab's target for apartment buildings is 260 kgCO₂e/m² gross floor area (BTA).
Hanna Bodbacka, Head of Sustainability at Besqab, continues:
“An important part of reducing the climate footprint of our projects is actively optimising and minimising materials, using climate calculations to support decisions. Plant's tools and expertise give us smart, fast help with climate calculations, so we can spend our time refining our expertise and strategies for developing climate- and energy-efficient buildings.”
