Klövern is environmentally certified
Klövern was December 13 environmentally certified in accordance with – Svensk Miljöbas. This method of environmental certification is based on the phased introduction of an environmental management system based on the international standard for environmental management – ISO 14001, and complies with the requirements in the national standard for environmental certification – Svensk Miljöbas. 

The environmental certification is based on the five basic components in ISO 14001 and provides a good foundation if the company wishes to go on to ISO 14001 certification.
Properties use large quantities of energy and efficiency improvements make a big difference both as regards the impact on the climate and the financial result. Energy consumption is therefore a major focus in environmental work. During 2010, heat consumption decreased by a total of 1,874 MWh.

Klövern has successfully started to use an energy system that makes use of heat and cold. This system is based on there being a simultaneous requirement of heating and cooling. A cooling and heating pump produces energy according to a factor of one in seven, i.e. consumption of one kWh electricity produces four kWh heating and three kWh cooling.
This is an extremely efficient way of producing energy, which can advantageously be used where requirements may vary between different buildings or external walls facing in different directions. The result will be low energy consumption.
