Climate Friendly nursery
| Project: | Energy producing day care |
| Type: | 1st prize invited competition |
| Client name: | Municipality of Hørsholm |
The nursery is yet another example that careful architectural design and integrated energy technologies is the recipe for truly sustainable architecture.
Due to the geometry, position of windows and a range of state of the art green technologies, this is will be the first nursery in the world that actually produces energy. In fact, the building will have paid back its complete CO2 footprint including construction within 40 years.
Chairman of Technical and Environmental Administration in Municipality of Hørsholm, Anders Borgen, states:
"I am thrilled that Hørsholm is going to have a day care facility that have such strong green credentials. As a municipality we demonstrate that the climate and environment is a top priority of ours and that a kindergarten is an excellent example of how the Active House principals can be applied. I am convinced that Hørsholm with this new institution will create much interest and curiosity from both experts and other local authorities in Denmark and abroad".
