Norge i front på bærekraftig byggeri

Tine Hegli fra AHO/Snøhetta vil fortelle om erfaringer med pilotprosjekter som Powerhouse og Nydalen Vy, mens Inger Andresen fra ZEN vil snakke om hvordan ta dette videre og skalere fra bygg til byområder. Manuela Ojan fra Heidelberg sement vil rapportere fra innovasjonsfronten for betongindustrien, som foreløpig står for 8 prosent av verdens klimagassutslipp. Og Mark Watts fra C40 er opptatt av hvordan andre byer i verden kan lære av erfaringene rundt bærekraftig byggeri i Norge, hvordan ta dette videre til alle C40-byene. Katharina Bramslev fra Grønn Byggallianse vi inspirere beslutningstakere med at klimavennlige bygg er både teknisk mulig, lønnsomt og morsomt. Mens Nordeas bærekraftsjef i Sverige, Sasja Beslik, vil se på bærekraftig byggeri ut fra et finansperspektiv. Etter vinterens avisdebatt rundt fasadene til det nye Munch-museet få du også sjansen til å ta på hjelm og vernesko og se hvordan det faktisk ser ut på innsiden. Og sist men ikke minst vil et stjernespekket lag av topp-politikere presentere både norske og internasjonale vinnere i Reinventing Cities-konkurransen.

Dette og mye mer finner du i hele 13 spennende sesjoner:

The quest for sustainable buildings Let’s overcome the barriers and make it happen! There are amazingly sustainable buildings in all corners of the planet. We could probably build most new buildings as circular, zero carbon and plus energy buildings – if we wanted to. But obviously, we don’t – so far. Sustainable buildings still are the exception. So this is a call for action: Hello politicians, business and industry! Let’s join forces and futureproof our cities! 

Existing Buildings: hassle or asset? How to improve the way we utilize and develop our existing building stock There is a constant struggle over space in most cities. In addition, to increase sustainability and improve utilization of public transport, densification is a critical strategy. But we cannot just tear down all old buildings that might be too small, too limited in use or not energy efficient enough, can we? There are alternatives and this session will explore proven strategies such as in-fill, add-on, re-use of buildings. And clearly, we will not shy away the conflict between conservation and densification. 

Reinventing Cities: announcing the winners The most amazing global competition to drive carbon neutral urban regeneration 15 cities from around the world have identified 39 underutilised spaces for redevelopment and made them the objects of unprecedented global competition. C40 and the participating cities invited architects, developers, environmentalists, neighbourhood groups, innovators and artists to build creative teams and to compete for the opportunity to transform these sites into new beacons of sustainability and resiliency. Today we see many of the projects – and will find out who will be the winners. 

Getting sustainable: upgrading existing buildings The biggest challenge is to upgrade the huge number of buildings already out there Buildings new buildings in a sustainable way and making them energy efficient is comparably easy. But what about all the buildings already out there, built in times in which energy efficiency was not even a term yet? To really tackle cities’ energy consumption and carbon emissions, we must consider them. Here you find out how it’s possible. 

Plus-energy building & districts Are they ready for implementation on a city scale? A few years back, they were the “diamonds in the rough”: unique and one-of-a-kind type of projects. But plus-energy buildings had been built and they worked. Today, however, their numbers are skyrocketing, and some cities even take the concept to the next level, working on plus-energy neighbourhoods. Let’s find out more about the most amazing projects, policies and development in this rapidly evolving sector. 

Materials matter: Taking carbon out of construction How to decarbonise one of the most carbon-intensive sectors Building new buildings in a sustainable way and making them energy-efficient is comparably easy. But what about all the buildings already out there, built in times in which energy efficiency was not even a term yet? To really tackle cities’ energy consumption and carbon emissions, we must consider them. Here you find out how it’s possible. 

Wooden buildings on the rise How to cut emissions, reduce noise, and speed up construction For decades, wooden buildings have basically not been present in urban environments – mainly for fire concerns. Recently though, cities rediscover wood as a construction material and are amazed how it reduces construction noise & duration, improves the working environment for construction workers, and can reduce carbon emissions. All good with wood? Let’s find out what is already done in cities around the world – and how good the carbon footprint really is.

The future of concrete With climate targets everywhere, will our love-story with concrete last? The concrete industry is one of the largest producers of CO2 in the world, responsible for approx. 5% of all carbon emissions. With climate targets everywhere and sustainable construction on the rise, what does that mean for our love-story with concrete? 

Sneak peek: The new Munch Museum Be among the first ones to be inside this soon-to-be architectural icon Put your helmet on and visit the climate friendly landmark rising on the eastern waterfront of Oslo. The New Munch Museum will be completed in 2019 and open to the public in 2020. Make sure you are among the first to visit!

Sneak peek: Oslo’s new Public Library Be among the first ones to be inside this soon-to-be architectural icon Put your helmet on and visit the climate friendly landmark rising on the eastern waterfront of Oslo, right next to the iconic Opera. The Oslo’s new Public Library will be completed in 2019 and open to the public in 2020. Make sure you are among the first to visit!

No sci-fi: The zero-emissions construction site is reality If you really want to get something done, you can! The construction of buildings in a growing city emits the same amount of CO2 as its entire mobility sector. Shocking, isn’t it? No wonder climate action leaders are working hard on taking carbon out of this sector. We gather the front-runners, let them share their experiences, successes and failure and identify the key areas that are up for transformation. 

Walking seminar: urban transformation – cultural heritage Experience the amazing urban transformation in Oslo’s city centre Several of the conference venues and the area between are interesting / excellent examples of old / historical buildings transformed / repurposed for a use that they were not originally designed to: A former industrial building is centre for design and architecture, a former church is now an event space and venue for concerts, a former bath is turned into a food truck hall, the former Opera house of Oslo is venue for Urban Future Global conference and Torggata, the street between them, is transformed from a tired street for traffic into a vibrant street for bikes and walkers. In this seminar we have swopped powerpoints with good examples in 1:1.
