Third-cycle subject: Sustainability Studies
The starting point of this project is that there is a need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One big source of such emissions is construction of new buildings. A more efficient use of buildings could reduce the need for new build. With the quick development and implementation of digitalisation, new opportunities for efficient use of buildings appear, but there is a large variation in how to implement space use sharing in various types of buildings. In this project, the intention is to look at sports facilities, student housing, mixed use buildings and offices and identify similarities and differences when it comes to sharing challenges. The overarching aim of this project is to explore pros and cons of using digitalization to support a more efficient space use in buildings as a way to support climate mitigation.
The project will be carried out in cooperation with several partners such as Akademiska Hus and Vakansa and KTH Sustainability, Real estate and facility services.
