HSB Living Lab

The HSB Living Lab is a unique research project located on Chalmers University's campus in Gothenburg, Sweden. This modular building is designed to test sustainable housing solutions and is home to 29 apartments for students and researchers. The project aims to develop innovative and portable housing models that can be replicated in areas with housing shortages. The building is constructed of 44 interchangeable modules, allowing for easy replacement and testing of different materials and systems. It features extensive sensor networks, display windows, and adaptable wall sections to facilitate research and experimentation. The project is a collaboration between HSB, Chalmers University, and Johanneberg Science Park, with the goal of creating sustainable and climate-smart housing solutions. The research conducted here will inform HSB's future housing developments and contribute to addressing societal challenges such as climate change and housing shortages.
