Great emphasis has been placed on environmentally friendly solutions when planning the new office building. The building’s energy consumption will be low and district heating and district cooling will be used. A park and gardens will also be built around the building.
“The rent and operation and maintenance costs are expected to be lower than our current total costs for the offices we rent in the Oslo region,” says Svein Harald Storli, who is in charge of property and offices in StatoilHydro.
The office building at Fornebu has been given the concept name “five elements”, and it consists of five wings joined together to form a star. Great emphasis has been placed on architecture and the environment in the planning of the building. The building is also very flexible with respect to different forms of cooperation, and in relation to the possibilities it offers for increasing or reducing the number of office workstations.
IT Fornebu Holding AS will be the owner and StatoilHydro will be the tenant from autumn 2012.
