The Powerhouse alliance’s first rehabilitation project is planned for Kjørbo in Sandvika, in the municipality of Bærum, just outside Oslo. The aim is to fully rehabilitate two office blocks from 1980 and transform them into energy-positive buildings.
The Powerhouse project was established by Entra Eiendom, Skanska, Snøhetta, the environmental organisation ZERO and the aluminium company Hydro. We want to demonstrate that it is possible to build energy-positive buildings not only in warm climates, but also in colder climates such as that in Norway.
