Climate-adaptive zero-emission buildings

Klima 2050 pilot-project The ZEB Laboratory was awarded the State's award for building quality.

"For the fifth time, the Ministry of Local Government and District Affairs has awarded the Government's award for building quality. The award aims to highlight new role models that have outstanding built quality and are the result of good and innovative construction processes.

- The ZEB Laboratory is a unique knowledge center for sustainable construction that shows how we can adapt to climate change, says Minister for Municipalities and Districts Sigbjørn Gjelsvik (Sp).

Today he presented the award to the laboratory, which is both a workplace for researchers and a building that experiments with climate-friendly solutions.

- The new normal is that the weather is more extreme. This means that buildings and outdoor areas have to endure greater stress than before. Climate adaptation is about who and how we design buildings and outdoor areas. Then we need precisely those good examples, which we must share with each other, says Gjelsvik."
