The purpose of the project is completely stop emission of greenhouse gas. International architecture firm Snøhetta has partnered with ZEB to design and build this remarkable experimental house that helps
The combination of renewable energy systems, passive solar orientation, and high-quality building envelope and insulation allows the ZEB Pilot House to produce excess energy.
A new research paper has calculated the technical potential of installing solar on building walls and roofs across Norway and the feasibility of integrating the power into the country''s grid.
In regard to Norway, the country has been long known as a pioneer in zero-energy buildings. These structures feature zero net consumption of renewable energy, while energy-positive
But could solar power offer a green alternative? Store Norske Energi, a state-owned energy company based in Longyearbyen, is testing whether solar energy could be used to transition Spitsbergen to
As of the beginning of 2025, the total installed capacity for solar power in Norway was 767 MW. In 2023, over 90 percent of the solar power capacity was connected to the Norwegian power grid.
In Norway, the Powerhouse alliance has already opened several buildings that generate enough electricity to power neighbouring buildings. The buildings of tomorrow will produce more energy than
The house is well insulated, has a smart energy management system, and faces south. Thanks to the floor heating system, the Karlsen family can walk barefooted through their house while
Norway''s rooftops may hold the key to a greener future. A new study reveals the country''s buildings could generate vast amounts of solar power—enough to transform its energy landscape.
Building on its reputation for abundant hydropower, Norway is poised for a major advancement in renewable energy. A recent study suggests the country could deploy 31 gigawatts
