"This year's award winners have together created Scandinavia's most energy-efficient hotel building. The property brings together hotels, offices and long-stay apartments, and thanks to solar cells, passive house technology and geothermal energy, it is Scandinavia's first zero-energy hotel. With its 2,400 square metres of solar cells, it is the hotel with biggest concentration of solar panels in the world, with solar energy fully covering its annual consumption of electricity. What's more, the energy is used intelligently inside the property, with the ability to distribute heat from one part of the operation to the rest of the building. Through intelligent and innovative buildings, the winners have led the way in climate-smart and sustainable construction, without compromising on convenience. It is not only a great initiative for the climate, but also sets an example and provides a key source of inspiration for all other actors building environmentally conscious and innovative buildings for the future."
