As part of meeting the criteria of Green Attraction, Home of Carlsberg had a comprehensive energy screening of their property in the Carlsberg City at Gamle Carlsberg vej 15. The screening helped them map their electricity and heating consumption.
What is Green Attraction?
Green Attraction is an environmental label that targets attractions, museums and zoos in Denmark. The environmental label is awarded to attractions that make an extra effort to be green and take care of the environment. All attractions with Green Attraction must meet a wide range of criteria for environmentally friendly operation.
The criteria are divided into mandatory criteria, where all must be met, and criteria of points, where 40% of the criteria must be met. There is a total of 17 different main areas. The labeled attractions must be able to document that they meet the criteria.
Home of Carlsberg
Home of Carlsberg is a cultural attraction located in the middle of the Carlsberg City. Here, guests can experience an interactive exhibition, walk the brewers’ horses in the stables, and get food and drinks.
Home of Carlsberg is heated with district heating, and the building is protected, which means there are restrictions on what external changes can be made in connection with energy renovations and renovations in general.
Home of Carlsberg wanted to map the current emissions, and at the same time seek advice in relation to possible improvements in relation to meeting the criteria of the Green Attraction certification. Transition has helped them by carrying out an energy screening of the location.

Energy Screening and Energy Saving Measures
The energy screening consisted of a physical inspection of the location with a special focus on technical installations and the building shell. Here, the building was reviewed for energy renovations that can be carried out in a protected building.
The energy screening resulted in an energy report that contains concrete proposals for future energy-saving measures. For all possible measures, the report includes calculations for the following:
- Energy savings in kWh/year
- Estimated financial investment for the project
- Financial savings
- Simple payback period
- CO2 reduction in kg CO2/year based on projected emission factors
