Abstract [sv]

Sverige har, genom att skriva under flera olika internationella avtal, åtagit sig att skydda vårt kulturarv för nuvarande och kommande generationer. I den svenska lagstiftningen finns också flera regler som syftar till att skydda kulturvärden. Bland annat får inte byggnader som är särskilt värdefulla ur bland annat kulturhistorisk synpunkt förvanskas. Ändringar av alla byggnader ska ske varsamt. Hur kommer det sig då att kulturvärden fortsatt går förlorade?

Abstract [en]

Cultural values are integrated in most of the national and international goals formulated to reach a sustainable future. According to the Swedish legislation the cultural environment is a public interest that must med weighed against other public as well as private interests in planning- and building processes. However, with the increasing attention to climate issues and the ambition to decrease the use of fossil energy sources, the preservation of the cultural environment may come into conflict with energy issues. The article describes how today’s legal complex has developed and elaborates on its deficits when put into practice. The results point towards improved law enforcement. We also suggest measures that need to be taken in order to adopt an holistic approach on energy efficiency issues and the assurance of adequate knowledge in the planning and building processes in order to reach a sustainable manage of the built environment.

Abstract [en]

Cultural values in the physical environment are explicitly protected by international agreements and their preservation for future generations is specified as a goal of sustainable development. According to Article 9(3) of the Aarhus Convention, environmental organisations have the right to appeal decisions and omissions by authorities relating to the environment. This article examines whether this legal obligation applies in different situations where cultural values in the physical environment may be affected. In order to determine whether such values are covered by this right, the legal concept of the environment is analysed. We then examine how cultural values in the physical environment are protected according to the national law, as well as how rules for environmental organisations’ right of appeal have been implemented and applied by Swedish courts. We conclude that cultural value in the physical environment is an environmental issue in the sense of the Aarhus Convention and thus covered by the right of appeal. In addition, we argue that decisions that “relate to the cultural en- vironment” should be interpreted extensively and that it can be difficult to distinguish cultural values in individual objects from their surrounding envi- ronment and landscape. Decisions that affect individual objects of cultural value can therefore often be covered by the right of appeal according to the Aarhus Convention.

Abstract [en]

The housing and service sector account for nearly 40 percent of the total energy usage in the European Union (EU). Improving energy efficiency in the building stock is therefore of vital importance to ensure climate goals. However, increasing the energy efficiency of existing buildings can lead to conflicts with other sustainability goals, such as the preservation of cultural heritage values of the built environment. How this conflict is handled in practice will depend on the design of the legislation and ultimately, the legal system. Not only is legislation on the protection of cultural values necessary, the legal system as a whole must be coherent and without deficits, loop-holes and conflicts contradicting goal fulfilment. Moreover, the norms must be effectively applied and complied with. Results of an interdisciplinary research project assessing the effectiveness of the Swedish legal system in reaching energy goals while preserving heritage values, show that meeting sustainability goals are jeopardized by not applying the law in accordance with the intent of the legislator. This paper elaborates on the deficits identified and how they can be improved in order to handle sustainability conflicts.

Abstract [en]

Improved energy efficiency and increased use of renewables within the building stock is crucial to ensure the achievement of international and national climate goals, such as bringing about a carbon neutral society. The existing buildings needs to be retrofitted and heated by renewable energy sources. However, this may lead to conflicts with other sustainability goals, such as the preservation of cultural heritage values within the built environment. The design of the legal system can be assumed to have a decisive role in well-developed Rechtsstaats in how these conflicts are handled. One important criterion for the achievement of overall sustainability objectives is that the legal system as a whole is coherent and without deficits, loopholes, and conflicts contradicting goal fulfilment. Moreover, the norms must be effectively applied and complied with. This article presents and elaborates on deficits in the legal system and its application, in particular within the land use planning and building legislation and the heritage protection law, in handling the conflicts between reaching energy goals while preserving heritage values and achieving a sustainable development. The important deficits identified include the lack of legal requirements on the adoption of holistic approaches and the assurance of adequate knowledge in the planning and building processes. The analyses have been carried out through interdisciplinary cooperation within the research project Law, Sustainable Energy Use and Protection of Heritage (RECO), funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.

Abstract [en]

Installing solar cells on rooftops is a common measure for reducing a building’s external energy consumption and increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the energy system. However, installing solar cells can mean that the general interest in preserving cultural value is negatively affected. This article describes the protection of cultural value by examining the legal protection of cultural value of church monuments according to the Historic Environmental Act (HEA) and “particularly valuable” buildings according to the Planning and Building Act (PBA). Following a general description of the legal protection of culture value follows a presentation of how the protection of cultural value relates to the installation of solar cells in the application of the respective legislation. The article concludes with an analysis of how strong the protection against distortion is for church monuments and “particularly valuable” buildings. The author has found that there are differences in which arguments are given importance for whether a solarcell installation may take place. The author suggests that neither arguments about the reversibility of the installation, nor environmental and climate justifications should be taken into consideration with regard to the design and purpose of the legislation. The author also argues that the protection against distortion, in theory, is stronger for “particularly valuable” buildings, according to the PBA, than for church monuments, according to HEA.This is especially true since the “use value” of a church is credited with the cultural value of the church. However, the author suggests that a distortion should rarely be allowed, since alternative solutions should be possible. Hence, a distortion of cultural value through the installation of solar cells is not a necessary measure – neither for the climate nor the church’s continued operation.
