‘The energy sector and building industry accounts for over 40 per cent of global industry’s heat-trapping emissions combined, according to the World Resources Institute’, explain Oslo-based architects Snøhetta. ‘As the world’s population and consequences of the climate crisis continue to grow worldwide, we are challenged to think how to build responsibly – creating high quality spaces for people while also reducing our environmental footprint.’

“根据世界资源研究所的数据，能源行业和建筑业占全球热阱排放总量的40%以上，据世界资源研究所解释奥斯陆的建筑师斯纳赫塔。“随着全球气候变化的人口和后果在全球范围内不断增长，我们面临着如何负责任地建设的挑战--为人们创造高质量的空间，同时也减少了我们的环境足迹。（三）、

Their input towards solving this crisis? A dedication to considerate, sustainable architecture, and their latest offering – Powerhouse Brattørkaia, in Trondheim, Norway – is a case in point. Welcome to the ’world’s northernmost energy-positive building’.

他们对解决这场危机的投入？致力于体贴、可持续的建筑，以及他们的最新产品-挪威特隆赫姆的Powerhouse Bratt rkaia-就是一个很好的例子。欢迎来到“世界上最北端的节能建筑”。

This innovative building – which houses workspaces – is cleverly designed to actually produce energy, rather than just consume it. In fact, astonishingly, it produces more electricity than it consumes – and that includes the energy that was required to build it.

这座创新的建筑-它容纳了工作空间-设计巧妙，不仅是为了消耗能源，而是为了生产能源。事实上，令人惊讶的是，它产生的电力比它消耗的更多-这包括建造它所需要的能量。

Solar harvesting (through, for example, solar cells) was a key way to achieve this, while the nearby sea water contributes to both the heating and cooling system within. A sloping roof and top level courtyard were designed towards optimal orientation for solar energy production. So now, the building not only supports its own energy needs, but actually powers neighbouring buildings, electric buses, cars and boats too, through a local micro grid.

太阳能收集(例如，通过太阳能电池)是实现这一目标的关键途径，而附近的海水对内部的加热和冷却系统都有贡献。设计了一个倾斜屋顶和顶层庭院，以优化太阳能生产的方向。因此，现在，这座建筑不仅满足了自身的能源需求，而且实际上也通过当地的微型电网为邻近的建筑物、电动巴士、汽车和船只提供动力。

‘Energy-positive buildings are the buildings of the future. The mantra of the design industry should not be “form follows function” but “form follows environment”. This means that the design thinking of today should focus on environmental considerations and reducing our footprint first, and have the design follow this premise,’ says Snøhetta founder Kjetil Trædal Thorsen. §

能源积极的建筑是未来的建筑。设计行业的口号不应该是“形式跟随功能”，而应该是“形式跟随环境”。这意味着今天的设计思想应该首先注重环境考虑，减少我们的足迹，让设计遵循这个前提，“Sn hetta创始人Kjetil Tr dal Thorsen说。§
