Habitat 7

Habitat 7 is a modern office development designed to prioritise occupant wellbeing, energy efficiency, and flexibility.

Project Highlights

Details & Challenges

Habitat 7 is a nine-storey timber office building in Gothenburg, Sweden, designed to achieve low CO₂ emissions and a minimal environmental footprint. The project required integrating high-performance HVAC systems into an exposed architectural design, where visible chilled beams needed to meet both functional and aesthetic demands.

Delivering high air volumes efficiently while maintaining low energy consumption was critical to meeting strict sustainability targets, including BREEAM and NollCO₂ standards. Careful planning, phased installation, and detailed delivery reporting ensured the solution supported the building’s ambitious environmental goals.

The Challenge: Delivering Sustainable Performance with Visible Design Constraints

This forward-thinking office project required a climate solution that could meet multiple demanding criteria simultaneously:

  • Low CO₂ emissions and minimal environmental footprint, aligned with ambitious sustainability goals
  • High energy efficiency, supporting a 40% reduction in climate impact and compliance with BREEAM and NollCO₂ standards
  • Integration within exposed architecture, where systems remain fully visible while maintaining aesthetic quality
  • Efficient high air volume delivery, without operating at maximum capacity to keep energy use low

Additionally, the project involved complex installation requirements, including phased delivery and coordination within a timber structure. Success depended on achieving reliable performance, full transparency through detailed reporting, and delivering a solution that met both environmental targets and architectural expectations.

The Solution: Efficient, Sustainable, and Seamlessly Integrated

FläktGroup delivered a fully integrated climate solution designed to balance performance, efficiency, and architectural intent. The system combines high-capacity air handling with exposed chilled beam technology, ensuring effective air distribution while maintaining low energy consumption.

  • Increased performance at reduced load, delivering required air volumes without operating at maximum capacity
  • Seamless integration into exposed interiors, with systems remaining visible while matching the building’s design
  • Phased installation approach, enabling efficient coordination within the timber structure
  • Detailed delivery reporting, supporting transparency and strict environmental compliance

The result: a highly efficient, low-carbon climate solution that meets sustainability targets while complementing the building’s open, design-led architecture.

The Results: Measurable Sustainability and Performance

The implemented solution successfully addressed the project’s key challenges, delivering both environmental and operational value:

  • 40% reduction in climate impact, supporting compliance with BREEAM and NollCO₂ standards
  • Lower energy consumption, achieved by delivering required air volumes without operating at maximum capacity
  • Seamless architectural integration, maintaining the visual integrity of exposed interiors
  • Efficient, coordinated installation, reducing on-site complexity through phased delivery

The result: a high-performing, low-carbon office environment that meets strict sustainability goals while ensuring reliable comfort and long-term efficiency.
