The project, which involves two buildings in Sandvika near Oslo, demonstrates that the renovation of existing properties into energy-plus buildings in cold climates makes commercial and environmental sense. “Powerhouse Kjorbo demonstrates that it's possible to construct a building ‘that provides a positive result, not just environmentally, but also financially. Making a commercial gain is a basic precondition for investing in this type Of project in the future.” Klaus.Andors Nysteen, Administrative Director, Entra Eiendom Project Sustainability Highlights Economic «Electricity costs 100% lower than a conventional Norwegian atfice building Green 100% Energy savings and Energy plus buildings + "Zero Carbon’ (Powerhouse definition) by ‘around 2070 ‘Environmentally responsible Materials and over (07% waste diverted from landfill = 10% Water savings Social ‘Healthy indoor environments SKANSKA ‘BN toed er scanning was ponered onthe Kobo [geet to map and model theesteror and inter ot ebulaing Energy plus beings ‘Avene or energy pastve ung 3 abating that analy generates more ener than tuses dunng ts ite Powerhouse balings APoweshouse balding ‘enerates atleast the Se amont of egy {Bad ding corstctn, ‘manufac of mates enon, denen ie ‘peration (exci tenant nergy ise) Powerhouse bung reer produces noua eneay io comper- Stefor the udings ene Iiecye energy sinh ing he emboded ener of onstraton mater ‘The Powerhouse consortium Skanska i prt of the Powerhouse consortium, ‘whichis constructing multiple energy-postve buildings in Norway. The Powerhouse consortium ‘was established together with ral esate company Entra Fiendom, architectural frm Snohetta and the environmental organization ZERO. The consultancy frm Asplan Vik became the sixth member ofthe Powerhouse consortium in 2013, followed by the seventh member, Sapa, later the same year. The consortia sims to desnonstate thatitis possible to create energy-plus buildings in colder climates suchas in Norwy, and that developing ach buildings makes commercial and environmental sense to all partes involved. Powerhouse is developing new ofie buildings such athe Brattrkaia office building in “Trondheim, and redeveloping existing oie bouiings. such as the Kjorbo project in Sandvika near Osa In the fate, the consortium plans to build on its experience and construct more enersy- positive buildings, both in Norway and abroad = Powerhouse Kjarbo "The Kjorho peoject in Sandie, 15 km from, slo, involved the redevelopment of two 1980s ollce buildings into energy- positive Powerhouse buildings. The buildings are part of 9 building business park and are known as Building 4, with three floors, and Building 5, with four floors. The two buildings havea total heated area of 5,180 m?, Entra Eiendom ovens the buildings and its partner ‘Skanska Norway was the contractor for the USS 189 million redevelopment projec, responsible for the projects energy concept. Prior tothe projec, both buildings had an annual energy use of around 250 kWhin?, Redevelopment work began in March 2013 and the buildings were completed in February 2014. The enterprise Enova supported the project with USS 27 million through the program New ‘Technology in Buildings of the Future and the Passive House program, ‘The Powerhouse consortium redeveloped the ‘jorbo buildings into modern offices. The existing black glass fagade wae replaced witha new fasade of charred wood panels, and aluminum window frames, and the project reused and incorporated existing structures and building elements. The consortium also equipped the buildings with new energy, ventilation, heating and lighting systems. The success ofthe project was due toa close cooperation between the vatious partners, the ability to find the most optimal solutions and the innovative combination ofthese solutions. ‘The consortium pioneered the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based laser scanning on the Kjorbo project to map and mode! the exterior and interior ofthe building. "The building’ exterior fagade and the surrounding trees were accurately nodeled using laser scanning to enable detailed [BIM solar studies to calculate the extent of shading from tres and to optimize the placement of roof ‘mounted solar panes. Laser scanning was also used to create an accurate as-built BIM model of the buikding’ load bearing structure, which was, retained and incorporated into the refurbishment. The Kjorbo buildings were certified to BREEAM. [NOR “Outstanding” classification for the desien sage. BREEAM is the world’ leading design and assessment method for green buildings and BREEAM-NOR is specifically adapted to Norwegian standards and criteria, There are five assessment levels in BREEAM-NOR, and “Outstanding” isthe highest possible level. In addition, the buildings fulfil ll the requ of the Norwegian Passive House standard for commercial buildings Powerhouse Kjorbo is also a Norwegian Zero, Emission Buildings (ZEB) pilot, as pat of a project rum by the Research Center on Zero Emission Buildings that aims to promote very low carbon, emissions during the lftime of buildings Powerhouse Kjorbo was nominated forthe 2014 Norwegian Technology Award forts outstanding energy performance. os Contributing Toward Sustainable Development ‘The Powerhouse consortium redeveloped the jorbo buildings into highly efficient ofice buildings that use around 80 percent less energy than a new building with the energy label C. ‘But when the generated electricity from the photovoltaic solar encrgy syst is included, the reduction wll be aver 100 percent as the buildings are energy-plus buildings. A carbon analysis of the project concluded that the redevelopment will achieve the Powerhouse definition of "7200 SKANSKA carbon’ during its lifetime when the buildings’ energy generation offiets their operational energy use, The renovated buildings also use around 10 percent less water than atypical newly built ‘commercial building in Norway The modernized buildings promote healthy working environments for occupants and the project incorporated environmentally responsible materials, including several alternative low-Volatle Organic ‘Compound (VOC) material and substance choices. “The project also contributed toward sustainable urban development by refurbishing two existing buildings, and promotes more sustainable modes of transport. During construction, the team diverted 97 percent of waste from landill and worked to raise the awareness of very green buildings through the media, conferences and site tours. Project team cooperation was an important part ofthe project as partners contributed toward the demanding project with their expertise Green Aspects Energy Energy efficiency “The redeveloped Kjarbo buildings annually use 32 Wh/m2in total, which is around 80 percent less «energy than a new building with the energy label ©; but when the electricity generated from the photovoltaic solar energy system is included, the tl reduction will be over 100 percent as the buildings are energy-plus buildings (energy forthe data server isnot included in this figure). The project team took a holistic approach to minimizing the buildings enesgy use whereby technical systems were integrated with architectural design The buildings were redeveloped to ensuce very low ‘energy consumption through a well-insulated and air-tight building envelope that meets Norwegian psive house standards for commercial buildings (NS 3701), The average U-value ofthe external walls was reduced from 0.30 Wim?K to 0.13 W/ mK, the roof U-value from 0.22 Wim2K to 0.08 ‘W/m?K, and the window U-value from 2.50 W/ ‘m2K 10 0.80 W/i2K. The airtightness was reduced from an assumed 3. air changes per hour (at 50 a) to 0.23 measured air changes per hous, “The buildings do aot normally require conventional beating, athough central radiators provide heat
