Visiting Asplan Viak Power House

Powerhouse is a collaboration of companies dedicated to building energy-positive buildings.

At November 16th we visited Asplan Viak Power House in Sandvika together with a delegation from Poland.

Powerhouse is a collaboration of companies dedicated to building energy-positive buildings. The collaboration consists of Entra Eiendom, Skanska, Snøhetta, the environmental NGO ZERO, the aluminium company Hydro, the aluminium profile company Sapa and the consulting firm Asplan Viak. We want to demonstrate that it is possible to build energy positive buildings, not just in the southern regions of the world, but also in cold Norway.

Powerhouse has already rehabilitated Powerhouse Kjørbo (Asplan Viak) into an energy-positive building, as well as developing a new energy-positive office building at Brattørkaia in Trondheim. Entra owns both properties.
