the world's northernmost energy-positive building
The Powerhouse Group is creating the first office building in Norway that produces more energy than it uses. The result is a completely new architectural concept for what will be the world's northernmost energy-positive building. Buildings account for 40 percent of the world's energy consumption, and energy-positive construction is an important part of the solution to global warming. "This is a complex and challenging task that requires holistic approaches and thinking. We have designed a unique building shaped by its surrounding conditions. The architectural and aesthetic expression of the building is defined by the mantra 'form follows environment'," says Founding Partner, Kjetil Trædal Thorsen.
