Welcome to the Dialogue project

The dialogue project “Building-Living and Property Management for the future”, called the Building- Living Dialogue, is a unique form of co-operation between companies, municipalities, national and local authorities, and the Government.

Developments in the building and property sector have had a substantial impact on both people and the environment.  It is now possible to construct buildings with healthy materials, environmental heating and a good indoor climate. 

By participating in the Building-Living Dialogue, those involved want to reach beyond the limits laid out in laws and regulations.  The common goal is a sustainable building and property sector before 2025, i.e. within one generation, primarily in three prioritised areas: the indoor environment, the use of energy and the use of natural resources.

The dialogue project was initiated in the autumn of 1998.

Who does it concern?

Anyone who lives in Sweden is concerned, but those directly involved in the dialogue project Building/Living are:

• companies and authorities within the building and property sector
• companies that in different ways are connected to this sector (e.g. creditors, insurance companies and other suppliers of services or products to the sector)
• municipalities

By making commitments and efforts to improve the environment, these companies, municipalities and authorities are leading the way for a sustainable development of the building and property sector. The three areas that are particularly prioritised, concern all of us – healthy indoor environment, efficient use of energy and efficient resource management.
