A new school and a health and welfare centre at Sluppen will be built together with a large number of new dwellings.Sluppen-Tempe includes both electrical and thermal loads. Brattøra is a workplace area including the city’s harbour, hotels, museums, convention centre and sports facilities. The demonstration area includes the office building Powerhouse, the Business College of Trondheim BI and one more office building. All of them already connected via a common energy management system and solely based on electricity. Brattøra will undergo densification in the years to come through apartment buildings and the Trondheim Station Centre, which combines public transport depots, offices and dwellings. Campus Gløshaugen encompasses seven buildings varying from old educational buildings to office buildings and the new Valgrinda ZEB Flexible Lab. NTNU is also in the process of building a new city campus, which will be completed over the next 10 years.
