The extension of the meteorological institute at Oslo University is built as a ‘Future Built’ project. FutureBuilt is a ten-year programme (2010-2020) with a vision of developing carbon neutral urban areas and high-quality architecture. The aim is to complete a number of pilot projects with the lowest possible greenhouse gas emissions. These prototypes will also contribute to a good city environment with regard to ecological cycles, health and the general impression of the city. FutureBuilt aims to be an arena for innovation, competence building and exchange of experiences.
