Snøhetta designs carbon negative Powerhouse Telemark office in Norway
Snøhetta has completed the carbonnegative Powerhouse Telemark office in the city of Porsgrunn, Norway, which was designed to produce more energy than it will consume over its lifespan. The angular building is highly insulated and has a large photovoltaic canopy covering its roof and southfacing facade that will generate 256, 000 kilowatts of energy each year. According to Snøhetta, this will mean it creates enough surplus renewable energy to compensate for the carbon consumed by the office over a 60year lifespan including its construction, demolition and the embodiedcarbon of building materials. Film is by Kjetil Andersen and Bjørnar Øvrebø.
