2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
This project is part of the broader FutureBuilt program, which has the following goals:
-Achieve climate-neutral urban areas and high-quality architecture (Ref. 9)
-Produce model projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in the areas of transport, energy use, and material use (Ref. 9)
-Stimulate innovation and learning among developers, architects, consultants, contractors, municipalities and users (Ref. 9)
Cultural Heritage:
The project aims for the preservation of a historic industrial building that dates back to 1876 to a modern, low-carbon housing complex with a large greenhouse as the central meeting point of the building (Ref. 8).

Quantitative targets
50% less greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact for buildings (Ref. 5)
Monitoring indicators defined
% GHG emission reduction (Ref. 5)
Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Climate change mitigation: What were the goals of the NBS?
Climate change mitigation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
Construction of a large greenhouse in between a housing complex in an old industrial building. The greenhouse will be the centre/nave of the building and provide a Mediterranean climate year around with a lot of green facades etc. (Ref. 1)
The project will include green roofs, local surface water solutions, and urban farming (Ref. 3)

Replicability/Transferability
Please specify Replicability/Transferability
FutureBuilt projects are made to be inspiring and transferable to others disciplines or municipalities. FutureBuilt is a collaboration model that has awakened both national and international attention. The concept of working with "role-model" projects is a highly transferable method, which have resulted in many inquiries from other municipalities/cities/regions in Norway who wants to learn from FutureBuilt and its projects. Similarly, it is an increasing interest internationally from foreign actors who want to learn how FutureBuilt as a method have given results. To meet this demand, the FutureBuilt program spread experiences in the following ways:
1) Documentation online both in Norwegian and English, 2) Receive visits, 3) Organize visits of promotional projects, 4) Contribute with lectures both in Norwegian and international context and 5) Through our Annual FutureBuilt conference which is streamed online and thus publicly available (Ref. 5)
