The Sydskogen School, a public school in Norway has become the first to achieve the highly regarded Nordic Swan Eco-label<\/h2>\n

Situated on the outskirts of Oslo, the Sydskogen School passed the rigorous environmental standards, which exceed those required of public buildings by local authorities in Oslo.<\/p>\n

The building has an energy requirement that is 25% lower than conventional buildings in the Nordic region.<\/p>\n

In addition to extensive roof solar paneling, the architects selected Kebony Wood<\/a> for each of the building\u2019s facades due to its strong environmental credentials and striking aesthetic quality.<\/p>\n

The wood was instrumental in securing the Swan Eco-label as it requires all timber used in construction to be sustainably produced.<\/p>\n

Sydskogen School, which has a capacity for 400 pupils and teachers received the full backing of R\u00f8yken local authority, who were committed to realising the vision for the environmentally friendly<\/a> building to ensure the school could fulfil its potential.<\/p>\n

The promotion of sustainable living<\/a> was an integral value for the team, but selecting materials and methods which were both sustainable, strong and maintenance-free was essential. <\/p>\n

Developed in Norway, Kebony\u2019s technology is a patented process which modifies sustainably sourced softwoods by heating the wood with furfuryl alcohol.<\/p>\n

The process also provides Kebony with its characteristic appearance, which changes colour with weathering to evolve with Sydskogen School\u2019s natural rural surroundings.<\/p>\n

The lead project architect, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to have helped achieve the Swan Eco-Label for this exceptional school in R\u00f8yken.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a really special space, and it would not have been possible without the support of the local council and the use of innovative materials like Kebony. We are confident that the children will thrive in a building allied with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mette Valen, sales manager at Kebony, added: \u201cKebony is delighted to have contributed to this beautiful school in Oslo.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to hear that the school is the first Swan eco-labelled school in Norway \u2013 we are all really proud of this and would love to revisit this project as the wood adopts its silver-grey patina.\u201d<\/p>\n
