Brunnshög, Lund’s new city district
The energy utility a main driver:
• Sustainable energy master planning
• Energy scenarios
• Energy supply
• Measures for a CO2 neutral city district
• Smart grids
• Climate adaptation
• Strategic advice
H+ a sustainable city district in Helsingborg
Energy positive
Primary energy
Cost neutral
Best Practice
Another energy utility driven development:
Can the energy positive goal be achieved in the H+ district?
Sustainable City Districts – a comparison
In common:
1) Low energy demand
2) Renewable energy

BREEAM Communities paves the way
Sustainable City Districts – key learnings
Integrated services necessary for sustainable development
Involve important stakeholders as early as possible – area specific
agreements have proven to be very useful
Build on existing knowledge, check what other cities have done before
getting started
An early analysis of potential conflicts of interest can help avoid a lot of
problems later in the development
A sustainability coordinator makes a huge difference
Sustainability certification schemes can help organise the work efficiently
It’s like a relay race, efficient handovers between phases are crucial
