In 2022, the ZEB Laboratory in Trondheim was awarded the Norwegian State's Prize for Building Quality.
A true zero emission building
Using a range of custom panel dimensions and shapes, along with an invisible and low-profile flat mounting system, the solar facade is optimized to catch as much sun as possible to achieve the ZEB-COM objective – to recover the entire environmental investment in materials, construction and operation over the next 60 years. There has also been integrated solar cells in the transparent vision glass, enabling a partial influx of daylight into the interior of the building, and letting the residents know about the electricity-producing exterior cladding, by playfully revealing the high-performance PV technology that is otherwise hidden within the solar facade.
