Replication is already happening in Oslo

After the successful demonstrator of Økern sykehjem in the ZenN project, Omsorgsbygg is already replicating the results. At Pastor Fangens vei 22, Omsorgsbygg is rehabilitating and transforming a building into modern dwellings for the elderly.

By using the same approach as was done at Økern the energy use is reduced by 60% through adding insulation, minimizing thermal bridges, introducing new demand controlled HVAC and energy efficient lighting.

In addition the roof is covered with BIPV which will produce around 30% of the annual energy used by the building. Tenants will move into the building in January 2017. The ZenN project had a site visit to the building in November 2016.
