The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to lower the energy use in Campus Varberg. For this purpose, the thesis utilizes a case study methodology and the European commission’s Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) as a tool to see what actions that could and should be taken in Campus Varberg to increase the score, resulting in a more energy efficient Campus. Results are indicating that sensors for occupant and daylight detection, and demand side management (DSM) of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC), and manual override of DSM are critical to increase energy efficiency and comfort in the building. A solar panel installation is recommended, and the expected gains are calculated. Unfortunately, the addition of an energy storage is not reasonable to install, because the expected production is lower than the current energy consumption, which limits Campus Varberg from proceeding further as a smart building. Overall, the SRI survey has proven to be a useful tool for identifying energy-saving opportunities and guiding the implementation of sustainable solutions in Campus Varberg, Sweden.
