As the relevance of energy transition grows at the EU level, environmentally sustainable architecture plays a key role in reducing carbon emissions from buildings and increasing awareness about sustainability. Innovations in the architecture field are not only about creating visually appealing but also community-centred environments for their users. 

Can architectural design catalyse raising awareness about energy transition? Can new designs and tools be envisioned to create spaces according to the three NEB principles: beautiful, sustainable, and together?

These questions will be the starting point for discussion at the event ‘Architects as facilitators of the energy transition: insights on two Plus Energy Buildings in Oslo’, an event that will include insightful presentations on plus energy buildings, an exhibition to experience the ARV solutions with VR tools, and a site visit to the Voldsløkka school (the ARV Norwerigan Climate-Positive Circular Community (CPCC)).
