Certifications
In a time of increasing sustainability demands and rapidly evolving industry standards, certifications are essential for ensuring quality and long-term impact in our clients’ projects. They validate that our buildings and environments meet both today’s and future requirements for climate performance, social sustainability, and resource efficiency.
Certifications like Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM, and LEED are well-known benchmarks for ensuring environmental performance. At Tengbom, we go further by enhancing the social value of buildings. Initiatives like Svanen and WELL Certification allow us to focus on health, well-being, and comfort in the environments we design. By taking a holistic approach, we incorporate air quality, daylight, healthy materials, and features that foster community and connection. Our experienced team specializes in a wide range of certifications, ensuring that each project not only meets the standards but also delivers added value for both users and the environment.
By certifying projects, we create a measurable structure for integrating sustainability into everything we do. The result? Beautiful, functional buildings that contribute to a better future.
Taking responsibility every step of the way
Sustainability and certifications begin long before construction starts. During planning, we collaborate closely with clients and partners to set clear goals and identify the most relevant certifications based on the project’s purpose and site conditions. Certification strategies are tailored for each project – from sustainable offices and homes to cultural heritage sites that combine preservation with modern sustainability standards.
Certifications like Miljöbyggnad Guld, Svanen, and Hållbar Interiör provide transparency and long-term value for both clients and society, while reducing buildings’ climate impact.
