Sweden uses a large amount of energy within the housing and services sector and there is a greatneed to reduce the energy usage & heat demand of buildings. Using environmental certifications it ispossible to reward buildings that are dimensioned for lower energy usage and low heat demand fromrequirements demanded by the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning(Boverket). Miljöbyggnad 3.1 (Swedish Green Building Council) Indicator 1 Heat demand is todayassessed in relation to the inside enclosing area of the building, W/m2,Aoms, while Indicator 3 Energyusage is assessed in relation to heated floor area, kWh/m2,Atemp. Previous research indicates that thesequantities do not take into account how well the building is used but only how well it is dimensionedin terms of construction technology. Therefore it might be appropriate to introduce a quantity thattakes into account how well the building is used. The purpose of this case study is to raise a discussion if Boverket and Miljöbyggnad 3.1 today usessuitable quantities when it comes to grade energy efficient building and how different quantities cancome and affect a grading. This research presents a case study where an elementary- and a preschool using IDA ICE-modelsevaluates based on simulations for energy usage and heat demand. The results from the simulationsare compiled in diagrams to be able to see how different cases affect the grading based on whichquantities are being used. The quantities that are being used in this study is based on previousresearch and the different cases have been made to see which parameters affect the quantities. The study shows that depending on what is considered to be an energy efficient building, differentquantities may be applied for the assessment. The quantities used today in Miljöbyggnad 3.1 forIndicator 1 Heat demand and Indicator 3 Energy usage favors different types of buildings.kWh/m2,Aoms favors buildings with higher floor heights while kWh/m2,Atemp favors buildings withlower floor heights.
