Swan-labeled construction
Your guarantee for quality, healthy indoor climate and lower environmental impact
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the Nordic region’s official environmental label and a recognised certification scheme for sustainable and healthy construction. When a building material or a building is Nordic Swan Ecolabelled, it is your guarantee that documented consideration is given to indoor climate, the environment and quality throughout the building’s lifetime.
By choosing Nordic Swan Ecolabelled modular construction, you gain assurance and visible value: you receive a building solution that is reliable in operation, flexible and built to meet the requirements of the future. At the same time, the systematised and controlled production of modular construction makes it easier to optimise resource consumption, document green initiatives and ensure reuse when the building has reached the end of its service life or your needs change.
Documented quality
When you choose construction with Swan-labeled materials, you select products that meet strict requirements regarding their environmental impact, chemical content, durability, and whether they emit substances into the indoor climate that can negatively affect users.
To ensure that the materials or the construction itself meet the Swan label’s strict requirements for content substances, environmental impact and quality, control is an essential part of the environmental certification. Swan labeling controls are always carried out by an impartial third party to ensure an unbiased evaluation.
We consider the Swan label an attractive certification because it supports our vision of delivering healthy buildings of the highest quality. High quality extends your building’s lifetime and increases the value of your investment.
What do you gain from choosing Swan-labeled materials?
When you choose to buy or rent modules built with Swan-labeled products, you are guaranteed, among other things, high-quality products that do not negatively affect the indoor climate with evaporation of unhealthy or allergy-causing substances.
Among other things, the ecolabel helps you keep focus on:
Energy and climate
When you choose Swan-labeled construction, you get documentation that systematic work has been done with energy consumption and climate footprint. This gives you construction with lower operating costs and a smaller climate footprint.
Our controlled production process and targeted efforts make it possible to continuously improve our solutions and reduce material and energy consumption in production and in the finished building.
Circular economy
By choosing Nordic Swan Ecolabelled construction, you receive a solution where service life, flexibility and the possibility of reuse are built in from the outset, so the value is preserved for as long as possible.
By nature, our modular construction is circular, because the buildings are designed to be dismantled, adapted and reused in new contexts, while the high quality makes it possible to give the building a long service life.
Environmentally labeled products
The Swan label is your security that the materials in your construction have been assessed and documented according to both environmental impact, chemical content, evaporation and similar factors.
We build our modules using materials and suppliers that can document the materials’ quality and environmental impact, to ensure high quality, a good indoor climate and compliance with recognised environmental requirements.
Biodiversity
The Swan label sets requirements for your construction site, its impact on outdoor areas and the finished construction's effect on the surroundings: consideration for nature, resources and the local environment.
Our modular construction reduces the impact on the construction site because a large part of the production takes place at our factory and provides shorter construction time on site. Our buildings are likewise built to support, for example, green roofs that can promote biodiversity.
Indoor climate
With the Swan label, you get construction that complies with strict requirements for health and indoor climate, including outgassing, humidity conditions, ventilation and daylight. This means you get construction with focus on users' health and well-being.
We build with solutions and materials that support a healthy indoor climate and good conditions for the building's users. We build in dry and controlled environments, which reduces the risk of moisture and contributes to a stable indoor climate.
Green innovation
The Swan label requires documentation that systematic work has been done with environment and quality in your construction, and that it has been developed with focus on meeting tomorrow's requirements for sustainability and responsibility.
Therefore, we continuously develop our construction process, digitize and simplify our methods. Since our construction takes place in controlled environments, it is easier to standardize, measure and develop our process from project to project. This makes it possible to implement new solutions and optimize both materials, energy and production.
Environmental labeling clarifies modular construction’s circularity
When you choose Swan-labeled modular construction, you get documentation that consideration has been taken for the entire construction’s life cycle (LCA): from material selection and production to operation, reuse and further application. Environmental labeling makes visible how the choices made early in the process matter for both resource consumption, waste and the building’s lifetime.
Modular construction’s flexible structure provides a natural starting point for circularity, while the controlled production ensures high, consistent quality and reduces the risk of errors.
Our modules are built according to the principle Design for disassembly, which makes it easy to reuse modules and materials in new contexts. At the same time, the modular structure gives you flexibility to adapt, expand or move the construction if your needs change.
For you as a building owner, this provides construction where quality, lifetime and responsible resource consumption are considered from the start. The Swan label makes circularity measurable and documented and gives you security that your construction has been developed with focus on both health, efficiency and future use.
