Badedammen Vest is an energy efficient residential development in Stavanger, Norway, which sources renewable heating and cooling from a seawater heat pump system.

Project Introduction
The Badedammen Vest residential development has been constructed close to the city centre of Stavanger, Norway. The development consists of five seafront apartment blocks, which are architecturally innovative with distinctive brick facades. Badedammen is named after an old swimming pool nearby and has contributed toward alleviating the shortage of city centre apartments in Stavanger.

Skanska Norway designed and constructed the US$ 80 million project for Skanska Residential Building (Skanska RDN) in four stages between 2000 and 2006. The Badedammen development includes 324 apartments of varying size with a total living area of 27,000 m2 for around 1,000 residents. The project involved partially extending the site into the sea and Skanska created garden and recreational areas around the buildings and an adjacent marina with 73 moorings.

Badedammen was designed around the concept of smart living by incorporating energy efficient solutions and utilising renewable energy from the sea. Skanska established a partnership with the state owned energy company, Statoil, which financed and installed a seawater heat pump system.
