Description

Description (EN):

Longlife Invest will implement a sustainable, energy-efficient building with minimized operational cost as a new dormitory of two blocks for the Klaipeda University. The Klaipeda University is the investor and the owner of the new dormitory. The implementation of the planned Lithuanian Longlife pilot project as a dormitory for Klaipeda University would be a great opportunity for the Lithuanian partners to make the dormitory technologically more energy-efficient and attractive as a pilot project for further investors who are analysing possibilities invest in Lithuania and the Baltic Sea Region. The Government of the Republic of Lithuania granted to Klaipėda University to construct a new property. The state enterprise Turto Bankas, Bank of Property, is going to participate in this project as associated organization and work with its financial engagement being responsible for construction management and partial financing according to the Lithuanian Law on the Management, Use and Disposal of of State and Municipal Assets (May 12, 1998, No. VIII-729). The investment in Klaipeda is the exemplary implementation of the developed Lithuanian pilot project in the main stage project Longlife. The main stage project Longlife has developed five sustainable and energy-efficient buildings as pilot projects in Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Germany and additional Russia. The integrated planning process for the pilot projects was supported by the Longlife Prototype Catalogue, a selection of precertified materials, elements and innovative technologies, which perform the Longlife benchmarks and standards. Longlife benchmarks and standards optimize the structural design and building technology system of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. This leads to reduction of CO2 emissions, fossil energy consumption and minimize the operational costs during the building´s lifecycle. By comparison the initial and operating costs of a "conventional" building and a Longlife Building, the owner will save money with the Longlife building in its lifecycle. The implementation planning and the construction process will accompany with on-going monitoring and evaluation activities. The Longlife invest project partners will proof with the Longlife Performance Pass (LLPP) the energy performance, CO2 performance and life cycle costs of the dormitory in reference to the Longlife benchmarks and standards. The Longlife Institute, non-profit association founded in the main stage project Longlife, will be the auditor. The dissemination of the technology transfer and the process of realization as the innovation and demonstration character of the investment will be transferred with study tours, trainings courses, public workshops, site webcam and through Klaipeda University TV.

Achievements (EN):

Around 40% of the energy consumption in the EU is due to existing buildings. According to this background, a high potential for energy savings exists in the building sector. Longlife has the focus on new buildings as contribution to the EU2020 objectives. An example for a Longlife building is the new student dormitory, an investment of Klaipeda University with support of Turto Banka. This investment is a next step to realize the master plan of Klaipeda University, approved by the city administration. The master plan is corresponding with Klaipėda University Strategic Development Plan approved by the Senate in 2010, describing the strategy for the period up to 2020. The campus of Klaipeda University is a conversion area. The area was used by the soviet army until 1994. There are some of such conversation areas in the BSR. The results of civil use of former military property in Klaipeda have also a transnational value. Around 40% of the energy consumption in the EU is due to existing buildings.

This is not working with renewable energy just in this moment. The construction of the new dormitory will start in autumn 2014 and the completion is planned for summer 2015. In the frame of the official start of construction we will start also the poster exhibition. The dissemination of the technology transfer will be transferred additional with study tours, site webcam and Klaipeda University TV. Appr. 70 architects, engineers from the region Klaipeda and Vilnius and staff from the city administration Klaipeda and the Ministry of Environment participated in the three trainings courses - En route to sustainability - Longlife buildings concept. All received a certification. SPS Centras was the main organizer, supported by the Longlife Institute e.V. The guideline for the trainings courses is completely prepared and will be print until December 2014.
