Humana Falkenberg

State-of-the-art ESG performance even after 5 years of operation

Humana Falkenberg is a modern, purpose-built elderly care home designed to support residents with care needs, including those living with dementia.

The facility comprises 60 beds across three floors and is located in the Municipality of Falkenberg on Sweden’s west coast, between Gothenburg and Malmö. It is operated by Humana, one of the leading care providers in the Nordics, founded in Sweden in 2001.

Falkenberg is one of Sweden’s growing municipalities, with the population aged 75 and above expected to increase significantly in the coming years. By 2050, this age group is projected to be approximately 55% larger than today, driving increased demand for high-quality elderly care capacity.

The care home has been thoughtfully designed, with a strong focus on resident wellbeing and quality of life. It offers many communal facilities, including an activity room, a gym and a shared rooftop terrace on the top floor.

Residents also benefit from landscaped outdoor areas featuring a greenhouse for gardening activities, seating areas, and walking paths designed for short walks and outdoor recreation.

During screening, the property stood out for its exceptionally strong ESG profile for assets in this region:

The building holds a BREEAM In-Use Very Good environmental certification, is taxonomy-aligned, and has no identified material climate risks.

The energy performance is equally strong. The building has an EPC rating of B and is heated primarily through fossil-free geothermal energy, supplemented by electricity for water heating.

Solar panels have been installed across two of the care home’s rooftops, covering a total area of 193 sqm. These are calculated to generate approximately 35,000 kWh annually.

In 2023, the building’s Primary Energy Demand (PED) was 63 kWh per sqm per year, significantly below the benchmark of 99 kWh per sqm per year for comparable buildings under normal operating conditions.

Humana Falkenberg has been operational since 2021 and completed its five-year inspection in the spring of 2026. Even after five years of operation, the building continues to demonstrate state-of-the-art ESG performance, highlighting the quality of its design.
