مستخلص:	To improve sustainability, social, environmental and economic aspects needs to be considered. The most optimal result appears when all three aspects are balanced equally, this is however often overseen by private investors, who focuses only on reaching economic sustainability at the expense of social and environmental sustainability. Building digitization is one way to potentially improve the sustainability of a building socially, environmentally and economically. Focusing on the aspects that often are neglected, this thesis aims to investigate if digitizing a building improves social and environmental sustainability. The investigation is made by evaluating the implementation of a digital building automation tool from selected social and environmental sustainability criteria at the University hospital of Northern Sweden. This by performing an interview survey with the maintenance organisation and the tenants in the building, as well as performing CO2-e calculations on emissions connected to energy usage, transportation and production of HVAC-products. The evaluation indicated that the implementation had resulted in improved sustainability in the studied building, both socially and environmentally. Showing that digitizing a building improves social and environmental sustainability. The social sustainability had been positively affected from increased efficiency and effectiveness of the maintenance work in the building and improved well-being of the maintenance staff. However, the tenants were not completely satisfied when asked if reported errors were being solved, but on the other hand had the maintenance organisation experienced an improvement in satisfaction among the tenants since the implementation of the digital building automation tool. Furthermore, the tenants were generally more satisfied than dissatisfied with the indoor climate, except for experienced low temperatures in the winter and dry air. The environmental sustainability had been improved from a redu För att skapa en bättre hållbarhet måste hänsyn tas till både den sociala, miljömässiga samt den ekonomiska aspekten. Fokuset på dessa tre aspekter bör balanseras lika för att uppnå optimal hållbarhet, dock efterföljs detta inte vanligtvis av privata investerare som ofta endast fokuserar på att uppnå ekonomisk hållbarhet på bekostnad av den sociala- och miljömässiga hållbarheten. En byggnads hållbarhet kan potentiellt förbättras genom digitalisering av byggnaden, vilket kan förbättra den sociala, miljömässiga och ekonomiska hållbarheten. Genom att fokusera på de aspekter som ofta blir nedprioriterade undersöker denna studie om den sociala och miljömässiga hållbarheten i en byggnad ökar vid digitalisering. Detta genom att utvärdera implementeringen av ett digitalt verktyg på Norrlands Universitetssjukhus från några utvalda kriterier för social och miljömässig hållbarhet. Den sociala hållbarheten utvärderas med hjälp av en intervjustudie med underhållspersonalen och hyresgästerna i byggnaden, medan den miljömässiga hållbarheten utvärderades genom att beräkna CO2-e utsläpp kopplade till energianvändning, transporter samt produktionen av HVAC-produkter. Utvärderingen indikerade att implementeringen hade resulterat i en ökad social och miljömässig hållbarhet i byggnaden, vilket visar att en byggnads sociala och miljömässiga hållbarhet kan förbättras genom digitalisering. Den sociala hållbarheten hade ökat på grund av en ökad effektivitet i underhållsarbetet samt ett förbättrat välmående hos underhållspersonalen. Dock visade undersökningen att hyresgästerna i byggnaden inte var helt nöjda med arbetet kring felanmälningar, underhållsorganisationen hade dock upplevt att hyresgästerna var nöjdare efter implementeringen av det digitala verktyget än de var innan. Hyresgästerna var också mer nöjda än missnöjda med inomhusklimatet, förutom att de upplevde låg inomhustemperatur på vintern och att luften var torr. Den miljömässiga hållbarheten hade förbättrats genom en minskning a
