History meets sustainability in Oslo. How did we transform an historic 1938 building in Norway’s capital to ensure its sustainability and energy-efficiency, and keep its soul? The answer lies in Oslo’s City Hall Passage Rådhuspassasjen. By using Ytong autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) from Xella Group, we helped create a vibrant new office, retail and urban space. Produced with renewable energy and 100% natural materials, Ytong AAC is fully recyclable – as City Hall Passage targets BREEAM NOR “Excellent” certification Ytong blocks are engineered for accuracy, and are ideal for new build and repair and refurbishment projects Ytong AAC provides outstanding resilience and energy efficiency, lowering heating and cooling costs and ensuring more comfortable spaces In Oslo and in cities around the world, Holcim’s high-value building solutions are helping shape the NextGen cities of tomorrow.
