KTH LIVE-IN LAB Testbed for Sustainable Housing David Bohn Stoltz, davidhs@kth.se
A Testbed for Sustainable Housing “A testbed (also "test bed") is a platform for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computational tools, and new technologies .” (Wikipedia 20161107)

Challenges to build sustainably Why build something else than what’s ordered? Why build better than what’s required? Not very logical when pretty much everything is sold on an overheated market anyway... Ref: www.green-panel.eu
Challenges are met in different ways • Technological development and innovation (New possibilities, better efficiency, lower cost) • Policy and Regulation (Legislation and incentives, taxes etc.) • Shifting consumer attitudes (awareness, motivation, lifestyles, new products with IoT, smart phones) • New Business Models (new entrants, values of flexibility and demand response etc.)

KTH Live-in Lab Purpose: to speed up the pace of innovation for “ green ”/” clean ” technologies in housing and construction sector • 305 student apartments • One passive lab • One active lab • Researchers from different fields as well as small and medium-sized enterprises
The lab is a unique collaboration that enables new opportunities • Gives new opportunities for collaboration between academia, students and enterprises • Gives SME’s an opportunity to test new technologies in a “real” environment, but in controlled forms with low risk • Aim to unlock and facilitate entrepreneurial spirit and creativity
KTH Live-in Lab Some short facts: Energy use around 230 000 kWh ~1150 sqm PV ~50 waste water heat exchangers Ground source heat pumps with novel heat collectors Long and short term heat storage (Hot water and PCM) Result: Plus energy building

Will KTH Live- in Lab “spread” out from the KTH campus? Stockholm Royal Seaport
Stockholm Royal Seaport is being built incrementally – Suitable for a Living Lab? This is just an idea! …or perhaps a vision? 1. 2012-2014 (start 2011) Student apartments 2. 2014-2017 (start 2012) built in an early stage 3. 2017-2021 (start 2015) (Stage 2) 4. 2016-2017 (start 2014) 5. 2018 (start 2016) 6. 2018-2019 (start 2015) 7. 2018-2019 (start 2016) 8. 2020-2023 (start 2017) 9. 2019 (start 2017)
