Officially opened on April 25th, 2024, Vertikal Nydalen marks a milestone in eco-conscious architecture. Designed with a 'triple zero solution', it achieves net-zero energy use for heating, cooling, and ventilation.
This is achieved through geothermal wells, PV panels, and natural ventilation, reducing CO2 emissions by over 50% compared to standard buildings. This innovative design eliminates traditional ducts and fans, creating open, light-filled spaces.
The choice of interior and exterior materials is aimed at maximising the sustainability of the building.
