Many buildings in Sweden have some kind of moisture problem and the reason for this can in a lot of cases be attributed to the production phase. A suggested measure by Boverket is to increase feedback to reduce errors in the production phase. This study will therefore contribute to the experience feedback by describing the process of moisture safety during the production phase at Skanska’s construction of Alster’s preschool. The starting point for this study is a moisture survey carried out on Alster’s preschool. The result from the moisture survey suggests that the work with moisture safety has been successful during the construction of Alster’s preschool. The aim of this study is therefore to make Alster’s preschool into an object of reference regarding moisture safety during the production phase. The method involved a theoretical study of building components and materials used in the construction of Alster’s preschool and the moisture aspects that must be taken into account. The method also involved an examination of Skanska’s documents from the construction of Alster’s preschool, supplemented with verbal conversations with Skanska employees. The result describes the process of moisture safety during the production phase at Alster’s preschool. The description includes how the construction was built, material management, examinations that were carried out and the anomalies that occurred. One conclusion that was drawn regarding the applicability of Alster’s preschool as an object of reference is that some similarities should coincide with the new building. Similarities such as supporting structures of wood, meet the passive house standard, one floor construction, and that the building is constructed in a similar climate. Another conclusion that was drawn is that the work with moisture safety in the production phase always should strive to keep building moisture levels below critical numbers. A measure taken in the disposal to make this possible was to achieve a favorable climate regarding moisture in the building. But it is important to consider the required air tightness in the construction before the heating process starts in the building.

Syfte: Studien avser energiförbrukning i produktionsfasen och fokuserar på hur kommunikationen kring energiförbrukningen kan minska den. Mycket fokus läggs idag på att minska en byggnads energiförbrukning under förvaltningsskedet, medan det finns saknat fokus kring produktionsfasens energiförbrukning. En av de största svårigheterna med en hållbar utveckling i byggsektorn är att varje projekt är unikt, vilket gör det svårt för inblandade parter att lära sig från tidigare erfarenheter och dela kunskap mellan olika projekt och aktörer, varvid vikten av en fungerande kommunikation ökar. Målet med denna studie är därför att minska byggproduktionens miljöpåverkan gällande energiförbrukning, genom att förbättra kommunikationen mellan inblandade parter. Metod: Denna studie är utförd som en fallstudie för ett specifikt projekt hos en av Sveriges största bygg- och fastighetsutvecklingsföretag. Metoder för att besvara studiens frågeställningar och samla empiri är litteraturstudier, dokumentanalys av interna dokument och intervjuer med inblandade parter i produktionsfasen. Resultat: Då den mesta kommunikationen kring miljöfrågor sker centralt och det finns en osäkerhet kring vems ansvar miljöfrågan ligger under ett projekt, leder till att det blir en personfråga och påverkas av hur stort intresse involverade personer har i miljö och hållbarhet. Resultatet visar att det i dagsläget läggs lite fokus på energiförbrukning under produktionsfasen. Byggtorkning är det moment med högst energiförbrukning och har därmed störst potential att minska dess koldioxidutsläpp. Konsekvenser: Studien visar att personligt intresse för miljö, prioritering samt tilldelning av resurser kan minska på energiförbrukningen under ett projekt. Genom att detta omfattas av KMA-samordnarens arbetsuppgifter innebär det att frågan adresseras och att energibesparingar kan göras. Begränsningar: Studien begränsas till större entreprenadföretag och studerar enbart energiförbrukningen från arbetsmomenten grundläggning, stombyggnad och yttre stomkomplettering i produktionsfasen på en platsbyggd betongstomme. Studien tar sålunda inte hänsyn till energiförbrukning av den tillfälliga fabriken. Respondenter till intervjuer har valts utifrån sakkunnighet och involveringsgrad i energieffektivisering på byggarbetsplatsen. / Purpose: The study addresses energy consumption in the production phase and focuses on how communication about energy consumption can reduce it. Most focus is currently on reducing the energy consumption of a building during the operation phase, while there is a lack of focus on the energy consumption in the production phase. One of the biggest difficulties with sustainable development in the construction industry is that each project is unique, making it difficult for parties involved to learn from previous experiences and share knowledge between different projects and actors, thereby increasing the importance of a working communication. The aim of this study is therefore to reduce the environmental impact of the construction phase concerning energy consumption, by improving communication between parties involved. Method: This study is performed as a case study for a specific project at one of the largest construction and property development companies in Sweden. Methods to answer the questions of the study and gather empirical data are literature studies, document analysis and interviews with parties involved in the production phase. Findings: Since most of the communication is handled centrally and there is an uncertainty about whose responsibility the environmental issue is during a project, it becomes a personalized question and depending on the personal interest for the environment and sustainability is for the people involved. The results show that there is currently a lack of focus on the energy consumption during the production phase. The drying of the concrete structure is the phase with the highest energy consumption and therefore has the greatest potential for reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. Implications: The study shows that personal interest for the environment, prioritization and allocation of resources can reduce energy consumption during a project. By including this in the QHSE-coordinator's tasks, implies in addressing the issue and energy savings can be made. Limitations: The study is limited to major contractors and only studies the energy consumption from the work stages foundation, framing and lock up in the production phase of a site-built concrete frame. The study does not therefore consider the energy consumption of the temporary factory. Respondents to the interviews have been selected based on expertise and involvement in energy efficiency at the construction site.
