Innovation description

Hylliebadets sustainability innovation focuses on energy efficiency, water management, and governance. The facility is designed to be one of Swedens most energy-efficient swimming complexes, with 700 square meters of solar panels on its roof, enabling partial energy self-sufficiency. Advanced heat exchangers and heat recovery systems allow up to 95 energy reuse, significantly reducing overall energy consumption and carbon emissions.

In terms of water sustainability, Hylliebadet features a modern purification system with on-site chlorine production, minimizing the need for external chemical transportation while ensuring high water quality. This innovation not only reduces chemical use but also contributes to a safer and more sustainable water treatment process.

From a governance perspective, the construction of Hylliebadet incorporated extra investments in energy and environmental efficiency, reducing long-term operational costs and reinforcing sustainable management practices. These combined efforts position Hylliebadet as a benchmark for sustainable sports facilities in Sweden.
