Tackling the climate crisis, and promoting improved health, Powerhouse Brattørkaia, designed by the Powerhouse Alliance, was completed in 2019. Exceeding net zero, it is Norway’s first and largest energy-positive commercial building. Now having achieved the BREEAM Outstanding certification for this revolutionary archetype of innovation, this example is a lesson in energy-smart development and serves as a leader for the northern hemisphere in its ability to produce more energy than it would consume over its lifespan. This case study details the thought leadership behind transformational design and how it can be used to deliver state-of-the-art building management solutions.
