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)
Need for 700 000 new (sustainable?) apartments in Sweden by 2025

Challenges to build sustainably
Ref: www.green-panel.eu
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...
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.)
Innovation in the housing sector

KTH Live-in Lab
- 305 student
apartments
- One passive lab
- One active lab
- Researchers from
different fields as well as small and medium-sized enterprises
Purpose: to speed up the pace of innovation for “green”/”clean” technologies in housing and construction sector
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
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
Student apartments built in an early stage (Stage 2)
Stockholm Royal Seaport is being built incrementally – Suitable for a Living Lab?
