YIT improves energy efficiency for Älvsbyn Municipality in Sweden
Älvsbyn Municipality and Älvsbyns Fastigheter AB have signed an agreement with
YIT to improve the energy efficiency of the municipality’s real estate over an
area of 100,000 square metres. Energy-efficiency is improved through reducing
the energy costs of real estate and developing maintenance.
YIT will carry out a full review of the energy efficiency of the
municipality’s real estate. The review work will be started in the summer of
2012.
– We want to reach our energy-saving objectives as soon as possible. Energy
costs will eat up our entire current budget within ten years if nothing is
done. The training of staff included in the project will further improve our
competence in the energy efficiency of real estate. Therefore, we have signed
an agreement with YIT, a company with significant experience and a good track
record in similar projects, says Anders Nilsson, CEO of Älvsbyns Fastigheter
AB.
– We are very proud to be helping in achieving the ambitious energy goals.
Through our energy efficiency projects, we can increase savings that will
finance operations of the municipality. We are improving municipal buildings to
ensure reliability and the quality of the indoor climate for many years to
come, says Jörgen Mattsson, CEO of YIT Sverige AB.
YIT has extensive experience in energy efficiency projects, and has recently
made similar agreements in Sweden with Mora, Ludvika, Torsby and Kalmar
municipalities, among others.
