At Martinsons, we have supplied the frame and floor structure in CLT and glulam for Örebro's first office building built entirely of wood. The centrally located building is seven storeys high and comprises 6,900 square metres of leasable area. The project is the first major wood construction project carried out by Castellum.
The building is environmentally certified according to the Sweden Green Building Council's Gold standard and according to the Sweden Green Building Council's new certification NollCO2. The goal is for the building to have net-zero carbon dioxide emissions during its lifetime.
"The sustainability aspect is an important part of the building, and the fact that we choose a wooden frame instead of steel and concrete is the main reason why we can achieve climate neutrality. And as a large real estate company, we need to contribute to building sustainably. It adds value to the building, both for those of us who own the property but also for the tenants," says Hans Hjalmarsson, Project Developer at Castellum.
– I am proud that we are now up and running with our most sustainable office building ever. We will learn a lot along the way that will also be useful in future projects. I am sure that in the relatively near future we will see more buildings with the new certification," says Per Gawelin, CEO of the Central Region, Castellum.
