A nursing home for old people is going to be built in Edsbyn, a community in Hälsingland, Sweden. The building needs calculation of energy use to receive a building permit. Seven different indicators in Miljöbyggnad were also examined. Miljöbyggnad is a Swedish environmental certification a building can acquire. In the project some changes in selected parameters of the buildings constructions and installations are examined to see how it affects the need of power to heat and the indoor climate. To obtain answers some simulations in IDA-ICE simulation program have been done together with a literature study. The results show that the building fulfills the requirements of specific energy use and mean value of the U-values that are set in BBR24. The building also fulfills the requirements of the number of primary energy and mean value of the U-values that is set in BBR25. Of the seven indicators in Miljöbyggnad that were examined two received the grade GOLD, three received SILVER and two received BRONZE. When building parameters are varied the results show that the largest difference in heating power is when changing the thickness of insulation and the largest difference in PPD, Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied, is when changing the indoor temperature.

Examensarbetet är gjort med avseendet på att kraven för nyproduktion av småhus skärps i Sverige under sommaren 2018, men även i samtliga EU-länder skall kraven vara genomförda innan år 2021. Kraven är riktade mot den totala energiförbrukningen av nybyggda bostäder i brukstillstånd och att specifik energianvändning som tidigare används ersätts med primärenergi för att räkna ut förbrukningen. Därför står hela byggbranschen inför stora förändringar men framförallt småhustillverkarna där deras tidigare krav med beräkningar utifrån specifik energianvändning inte längre gäller. Primärenergiberäkningen är baserad på specifika energibärare som nu blir betydligt viktigare för beräkningarna samt att formeln ser annorlunda ut vilket leder till nya värden som inte går att jämföra med tidigare kravnivåer. Undersökningen gjordes med hjälp av ett typhus från Vårgårda hus, målet var att huset skulle klara kraven oberoende av vart i landet det är placerat och vald uppvärmningskälla. Men även en viktig aspekt var hur prisskillnaderna på de olika konstruktions- och uppvärmningslösningar faller ut, detta gjordes med programvaran Bidcon för att tydligt se de ingående kostnader för varje fall. För att uppnå detta gjordes en parameterstudie med olika uppvärmningskällor och andra smarta konstruktionslösningar, för att se om huset klarade kraven på fyra olika geografiska lägen i Sverige med hjälp av VIP-Energy. Resultatet visar tydligt att typhuset enbart klarar kraven när det är placerat i Malmö i orginalutförande och inte i Lanna, Örebro län där det är placerat i verkligheten. Det gör att olika besparingslösningar krävs och det mest energieffektiva sättet är att utrusta huset med en Bergvärmepump och ett FTX-system för alla testade zoner. Dock blir det kostnadseffektivast med avseende på slutpriset att använda fjärrvärme med ett FTX-system för att klara kraven i alla de testade geografiska zonerna. / The thesis is done with consideration to the new stricter requirements for production of houses in Sweden during the summer of 2018, but the requirements must also be met in all EU countries before the year 2021. The requirements are directed against the total energy consumption of newly built dwellings at operation stage and that specific energy use previously used is replaced with primary energy to calculate consumption. Therefore, the whole construction industry is facing major changes, but above all house manufacturers where their previous requirements with calculations based on specific energy use are no longer valid. The primary energy calculation is based on specific energy carriers, which is much more important for the calculations, and the formula looks different, which leads to new values that cannot be compared with previous requirements levels. The survey was conducted using a specific house from Vårgårda hus, the goal was that the house would meet the requirements regardless of where in the country it is placed and selected heating source. But another important aspect was how the price differences on the different design and heating solutions panned out, this was done with the software Bidcon to clearly see the input costs for each case. To achieve this, a parameter study with different heating sources and other smart design solutions was made to see if the house passed the requirements of four different geographical locations in Sweden using VIP-Energy. The result shows clearly that our specific house only meets the requirements when it is placed in Malmö in the original design and not in Lanna, Örebro County where it is placed in reality. This means that different savings solutions are required and the most energy efficient way is to equip the house with a geothermal heat pump and an FTX system for all tested zones. However, it will be most cost-effective in terms of the final price to use district heating with an FTX system to meet the requirements of all the tested geographical zones.
