Municipal Building

About the project

The modern energy-efficient municipal building serves not only as a functional space but also as a powerful symbol of the city's commitment to a sustainable future. From the ground up, the building prioritizes energy efficiency. The exterior walls are constructed with insulated concrete forms (ICFs), creating a thermal envelope that minimizes heat transfer. Large, well-placed windows bathe the interior in natural light, reducing the need for artificial illumination. Additionally, strategically placed overhangs provide shade during summer months, further decreasing cooling needs.

The roof of the building isn't simply a barrier but an opportunity. Solar panels adorn the rooftop, capturing the sun's energy and converting it into usable electricity. This renewable energy source not only reduces reliance on the grid but also contributes to a cleaner environment. 

Technology plays a key role in maximizing efficiency. Building Management Systems (BMS) monitor and control various aspects of the building, including lighting, heating, and ventilation. Sensors strategically placed throughout the building adjust lighting and climate control based on real-time occupancy and weather conditions, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

Our deliverables:
  • Architectural design

  • Functional planning

  • Structural design

  • Sustainable design

In addition to that, together with Contractor AS, we supplied all materials to the project.
