Rebel and sustainability

Rebel has chosen to make sustainability an important focus in everything we do. Instead of building new, we have transformed an existing building into a professional and social meeting place in Oslo, where innovative use of previously dark areas has ensured optimal utilization of the building structure.

On Rebel we follow the same principles and overall strategy as our farm owner, Entra. In parallel, we actively seek conscious and responsible partners at all levels of our operations. This means that we aim to be environmentally leading, and to lead by example when it comes to environmental concerns, footprint and general impact. It should be profitable for both us and our customers to choose environmentally friendly solutions. At Rebel We utilize all areas and zones to the best of our ability, and sustainability is considered in the design of all our meeting and conference rooms. The goal is that as much space as possible is used in the best possible way by as many people as possible.

Our building is equipped with automated lighting control. Sensor technology ensures that lights are only on in rooms that are in use, which contributes to significant energy savings. In addition, we have invested in climate-efficient ventilation systems. These are carefully monitored so that they are only active when needed. For example, when the conference rooms are empty, the ventilation is turned off, and only activated again when the room is in use. We are also proud of our waste management system where everything is sorted at source.

Rebel has a very high utilization of the canteen area and social zones. Tenants can use the entire building 24/7.

All fixtures, from furniture to workstations, are carefully selected based on quality, so that they can last a long time. A former underground parking garage has been transformed into a vibrant center filled with conference facilities, a catering area, a commercial kitchen, changing rooms and bicycle parking, making previously unused spaces useful and a gathering place for many.

We have a strong focus on reuse and recycling. Whether it's building materials or furniture, we have a strong commitment to the environment, which is reflected in our impressive sorting rate of 93%. Several social zones and meeting rooms are furnished with second-hand furniture.

Rebel is centrally located in Oslo and has very good connections with public transport. We encourage everyone to travel here in an environmentally friendly way. Our bicycle parking has space for around 250 bicycles.

Our client, Entra, and Rebel's dedication to sustainability was recognized in 2022 when Rebel won the prestigious City Award. To receive this honor, we had to deliver on all three dimensions of sustainability: social and societal, physical environment/climate, and economic. This means that Rebel not only prioritizes the environment, but also ensures that we add positive value to the local community, while maintaining a healthy economy.
