O1. GENERAL COMPETITION INFORMATION
The Nordic Built Challenge is an open multidisciplinary design contest for the refurbishment
of five specific buildings. The objective of the competition is to encourage innovation and the
development of sustainable, viable and scalable refurbishment concepts for some of the most
common building types in the Nordic region.
According to the principles of the Nordic Built Charter competitors are encouraged to form
multidisciplinary and Nordic/international teams.
1.1 Introduction to Nordic Built
Nordic Built is a Nordic initiative to accelerate Nordic competitive concepts for a sustainable
built environment. The program is part of the Nordic co-operation program for Innovation and
Business policy 2011-2013, and also one of the Globalization initiatives initiated by the Nordic
Prime Ministers. Nordic Built is a sustainable lighthouse initiative funded by and under the
supervision of Nordic Innovation, a key participant in the implementation of Nordic partnership
programs in the areas of trade, industry and innovation with the objective of promoting crossborder trade and innovation within the Nordic countries.
The Nordic Built programme will be carried out through the execution of three main modules
over the period of 2012-2014. The modules will cover a range of interconnected activities and
build on each other. The first module defines the core values,ambitions and opportunities for
the Nordic building sector in the Nordic Built Charter (http://www.nordicbuilt.org). The charter
states 10 core principles that form the foundation of the programme. The second part is this
competition, The Nordic Built Challenge where innovators from within and beyond the building
sector are invited to compete with the aim to realize the Nordic Built Charter’s principles. The
third and final module will be a joint Nordic funding programme for innovation, R&D and
demonstration projects within sustainable construction.
1.2 The Nordic Built Challenge: Competition format
Nordic Built Challenge – competition comprises of five individual competitions, one competition
in each Nordic country. All competitions concern a building or group of buildings to be renovated
in an innovative and eco-efficient way, with the use of technology while remaining financially and
practically viable. It is possible for the competitors to compete in all five competitions if they so
wish. Information of these competitions is found on the competition website www.nordicbuilt.org
All five competitions are being organized in two phases; an open multidisciplinary design contest
and subsequently a negotiated procedure with the winners of the design contest. The format for
stage two varies slightly from country to country.
In each Nordic country one winner will be selected and one of these five winners will then be
selected as the final winner of the whole Nordic Built Challenge.

proposals selected for Stage 2 in accordance with Swedish copyright law.
The competitors that have received the possible design commission will retain the right to
use themes and ideas from other proposals selected for Stage 2 in accordance with Swedish
copyright law. The copyright of the designs will remain with the authors of the proposals.
Nordic Innovation, Botkyrkabyggen, and the Swedish Association of Architects retain the right to

material (after the announcement of the results), the main author/s of the proposals in question
will always be mentioned by company or name.
1.15 Further actions after the competition
The jury will make its recommendations for further actions based on the results of the
competition.
The intention is to award the winner of Stage 2 the task of refurbishing the property on

If these negotiations do not succeed, according to the parties’ opinion, the contract will not be
signed. Botkyrkabyggen is then free to negotiate with other competitors, in any order, according
to the same principles.
The working language during these negotiations and during the further phases will be Swedish if
not agreed otherwise.
The commission will then be undertaken on the basis of Section 27 Paragraph 7 (Direct Award of
Contracts) of the Act on Public Contracts.
If the building project for any reason is cancelled or if the consultancy contract is not otherwise
awarded to the winner of the competition within four years of the announcement of winner of
the competition, the winner of the competition shall receive a compensation of NOK 150 000
excluding VAT.

O3. COMPETITION TASK AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
3.1 Competition area
Competition area:
Krögarvägen 2
3.2 Description of the competition area and surroundings
In the neighborhood where the building “Krögarvägen 2” is located, Botkyrkabyggen owns 1 393
apartments in which 4 060 people are living by the official records. The actual number is probably
much higher due to illegal immigration, temporary housing of relatives, and so on. More than
three quarters of the dwellers have a foreign background and only 55% of those in the working
age are employed. The net income per family is below SEK 200 000 per year.
When the neighborhood is portrayed in the media, it is often regarded as unsafe with a quite high
level of crime.
An interesting contradiction to this, however, is that a high number of the inhabitants are satisfied
with their living, and people say they like the neighborhood because they feel safe. When visiting
the area you can also notice that it has a very friendly atmosphere.

3.4 Objectives of the competition
The ten principles of the Nordic Built Charter form the basis for the objectives as well as for the
assessment criteria of the competition.
The long-term goal with the Nordic Built Competition is that it shall be possible to renovate the
property at Krögarvägen 2 and other areas in Fittja (and similar neighborhoods) at a reasonable
cost so that a majority of the residents can remain and will not be forced to leave due to raised
rental costs.
In addition it is important for Botkyrkabyggen to find a long-term solution for:
a) The water pipes
b) The waterproofing in the bathrooms
c) The sewage system
d) Windows (in general there is a leakage problem)
e) The visual impression (kitchen cabinets, painting, floors etc.)
f) Energy performance
g) Public areas (stairwells, basements, laundries etc.)

3.5 Starting points and instructions for design
3.5.1 Cityscape, town plan and building rights
Previously the municipal authorities have defined the buildings in Fittja as “typical for the period”.
In practice this means that it has not been easy to get a permit to change their exterior and look.
We have made an effort, due to this competition, to get a formal statement from the authorities
to define the conservation value of the building which is the subject to this competition. Since
we have not succeeded in this task, we have ordered an independent study from an expert at
Thyréns (a consultancy firm). We expect their report before the actual launch of the competition,
and publish it on the competition website as soon as it is delivered. As soon as we have the
report we also try to get a formal response from the concerned authorities.
Any feedback that is considered relevant to the competition will be published on the competition
website without a delay.
3.6 Demolition
Any proposal with the essential context of tearing down the house down to the concrete frame
and then rebuild the house will not be tried by the jury. The grounds for this are our awareness
of the option, which, however, has been dismissed when considering it as not a politically viable
option.
3.7 Financial framework
The property of Krögarvägen 2 has annual revenue of SEK 5 300 000. The proposal submitted
should be possible to fund based on this revenue.

O4. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The overall assessment criteria are the ability to apply the 10 principles of the Nordic Built Charter
to the refurbishment project.
The further evaluation criteria of the Nordic Built Challenge Sweden described below are derived
from the 10 principles of the Nordic Built Charter.
In the assessment of the proposals the emphasis is put particularly on the characteristics listed
below and how the proposals fulfill the objectives set out in the competition program with regard
to these characteristics.
The merits of the overall solution are considered more important than the faultlessness of details.
The assessment also takes into consideration the development potential of the proposal, in other
words, how it can be developed without the basic solution being substantially affected.

There are no “one size fits all” solutions. We will adapt to each location and utilise its
specific natural resources and surroundings, as well as local knowledge and traditions.
We will adapt the built environment to local conditions, making it able to handle existing
and future climate conditions.
We will strive to use locally available materials and base our choice of materials on life
cycle assessment (l c a).
We will reuse materials when retrofitting and demolishing, and strive to achieve a zero
waste attitude for our activities.
We will adapt the built environment to local ecosystems.

models of the building sector. We will develop business models that capture and boost the
value for people and the environment.
We will achieve sustainable development in all three pillars of sustainability; people,
business and the environment.
Our sustainable concepts and solutions will be profitable to a degree that will drive change,
improving quality of life and environmental performance.
Our solutions will be attractive to average citizens: Affordable, realistic and scalable everywhere.

In the summer of 2010, two
new heat pumps were installed
on ­Krögarvägen 2, and also on
­Krögarvägen 6. A heat pump on
each place heats hot water for
two new water heaters in each
mechanical room (MR).
In each MR one “hot gas heater”
was installed and they are warmed up by the heat pumps. A new exhaust air battery were also
installed in the garage with new pipes to each MR.
Heat pumps and water heaters were placed in rooms next to the MR for district heating. District
heating can if it is necessary assist with the heating of hot water.

Comment
In 2006 apartments were supplemented with some new equipment’s
to save water, such as new showerheads and water-saving jets to the
kitchen faucets. Toilets and faucets
were also checked if there were
any leaks. There´s also a connection between the water reduction
and the reduction in heat, 20%
reduction of water results in around
5% reduction of heat.
