AR 29

At the NK department stores
and in Fyran and Femman,
Hufvudstaden is a contracting party for a number of electricity contracts utilized by the tenants. This means that in addition to electricity
used to operate the property reported energy use also includes electricity used by the tenants in their operations.
The power used by the tenants in their operations in the
department stores is significant, which results in a relatively
high energy use figure.

Fastighetsbarometern is the annual analysis made by the CFI Group and the Swedish Property Federation of how
Swedish office tenants perceive
their landlords. The
study provides answers to how the tenants perceive the
premises, the property owner’s
service level, how satisfied the tenants are overall and how loyal they are. The total level of satisfaction is presented as a Customer Satisfaction Index on a 100-point scale. Fastighetsbarometern
is also run among the leading property owners in Sweden,
which means that the CFI Group can calculate an average
Customer satisfaction
Index for the industry.
