Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre
Vibrant, cosmopolitan and built on the water’s edge
The fluid form of Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre is one of the city’s defining landmarks. Sitting on one of the most highly visible sites in the city, Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre neighbors Central Station and City Hall.
It is within walking distance of all the major attractions, shopping and Central Station with direct access to rail, metro and the Arlanda Express airport shuttle.
One of the world’s most energy efficient buildings
The sustainability strategy was designed to cut CO2 emissions and minimise impact on the environment to mitigate climate change. Glass façades are made up of 1,040 sqm of solar panels that on average gather 1MW of heat energy on a daily basis; equivalent to 90,000 household low energy bulbs. Utilizing the site’s waterfront location, the entire centre is cooled by water drawn from Lake Mälaren, which is stored in 250 tonne of ice tanks in the basement. In addition, a large part of material was reused from the building previously occupying the site. This approach ensured that Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre is one of the most energy efficient buildings in the world, achieving the LEED Gold standard.
