The MIMO project covers a total of 38,000 square meters of gross floor area and includes new construction of offices, retail, and service areas, as well as the renovation of an existing building.
“The choice of building materials is a central issue in our sustainability work. Choosing low-carbon concrete from Thomas Betong contributes to sustainable development for us, our customers, and society,” says Sarah Pennycook, property developer at NCC Property Development.
Early Involvement in the Project
By involving Thomas Betong early in the construction project, both the structure and the concrete could be optimized to reduce the climate footprint by up to 50 percent compared to traditional concrete.
“We were involved from the planning phase and could optimize both the concrete and the structure. When using traditional standard concrete in thicker structures, significant heat development occurs. In this case, we developed a low-carbon concrete that significantly reduces the climate impact and also reduces heat development in thick structures,” says Jonas Davidsson, sales manager at Thomas Betong.
Meeting High Sustainability Goals
MIMO was completed after the summer of 2024 and will be environmentally certified according to BREEAM Excellent. This certification means that NCC takes a holistic approach to the building and its surroundings.
“Our sustainability goals force us to think innovatively. It’s about making active choices in all stages and aspects that promote sustainable development. Our collaboration with Thomas Betong has worked fantastically,” concludes Sarah Pennycook.
MIMO is designed using NCC’s MåBra method to enhance the well-being of those working in the building. Elements like lighting, materials, colors, social spaces, and other aspects of the work environment have been carefully evaluated and adapted to ensure that occupants thrive and feel their best.
