General information
Arrhenius NPQ was built in 2013-2015 as a complement to the existing Arrhenius laboratory when Stockholm University wanted to gather all its activities within the biological section in one place. Together, the buildings form an important cluster of laboratory-intensive facilities within the university's biological and chemical research.
The new building contains office and lab environments as well as several advanced plant climate chambers. In connection with the new building, a new combined energy solution for heating and cooling was also built, which will supply the entire Arrhenius quarter.
The energy solution is based on a ground layer with 150 drilled boreholes and is estimated to be able to reduce the purchase of district heating by 5,000 MWh per year from 2000 until 2025.
