Source:Synlig.no A new study has revealed that Norway's buildings could generate enough solar energy to meet nearly half of the country's annual electricity demand.
Surprisingly, Norway's high latitude offers unique advantages for solar generation, including long summer days, reflective snow, and cool temperatures that enhance panel efficiency, particularly for vertical installations on building facades.
To continue the electrification of these sectors, Oslo needs better energy planning and management to ensure that the city has sufficient grid capacity and alternative energy sources to fulfil the transition. Energy management is needed at both the micro level – construction site or charging station – and the macro level – city and region.
Here, we look at innovative city-led initiatives in Oslo, Norway's capital, showcasing its achievements in making the construction industry more sustainable. City officials from Madrid, London and Oslo convened in Norway's capital for three days of workshops focused on Project VISIBLE's pilots in October 2024. Source: Oslo Climate Agency
