Housing Crisis in Sweden: Addressing Shortages and Sustainable Solutions

Sweden, with a population of 9.5 million, faces a housing crisis as population growth outpaces dwelling production. The capital, Stockholm, grows by 2 million inhabitants, highlighting the urgent need for housing. Prefabricated houses with low energy consumption are proposed as a sustainable solution, but production levels fall short. Issues include stringent rental regulations, banking limits, and local interpretations of building codes. To meet the demand, up to 300,000 dwellings need to be produced swiftly, leveraging industrial capabilities in eco-friendly construction.

The standard house • Single family house mean U-value approx. 0,25 w/m2oK with 0,15 w/m2oK for walls and 1,1 for windows and doors. • Heating system heat pump which distributes the energy with water to a radiation system or floor heating system. • House with a heat pump that uses energy from the ground consumes about 35 to 45 kWh/m2 year. • Multi storey houses often has district heating which is produced with 85 % renewable energy and consumes 70 – 90 kWh/m2 year.

  6. Talk of the town!

  11. Industry of Prefabricated Houses/buildings • 70 companies • Focus on singlefamilybuildnings • Tot. Prod. Capacity is >15000 houses/year • 2012 theyonlyproduced 4750 outof a total of ~20000 dwellings • 5-7 companies • Focus on multi familybuildings • Total prodcap. 2500 dwellings
