Proposed Norwegian office building will generate more power than it uses

If buildings that meet the rigorous qualifications of passive house construction seem impressive, or projects that attain the Living Building standard, such as the Bullitt Center , represent the cutting edge of sustainable design, a recently announced project in an Oslo suburb could be a game-changer, according to its developer. The Powerhouse Telemark, an 11-story office tower projected to open in Porsgrunn, Norway, promises to not just be sustainable, but to actually produce more power than it consumes.
