An office building at 63° north latitude designed to produce more energy across its lifetime than was consumed in its construction, operation and demolition. A 3,000 m² rooftop solar array tilted at 19° generates surplus power fed to local ferries and electric vehicles.

Innovation highlights

• Energy-positive across full lifecycle including embodied energy of construction
• 3,000 m² rooftop PV array optimised for subarctic solar angles
• Excess power charges harbour ferries and electric vehicles on-site
• Triple-glazed facade with external venetian blinds and thermal mass optimisation
