Energy use in Norway
There are various factors that influence energy use in Norway.
A large proportion of the energy used in Norway comes from electricity. Much of it is used in energy-intensive industries. Electricity is also a common source for heating buildings and tap water.
Buildings account for about 40% of energy use in Norway. Efficient energy use in buildings is therefore essential for the Norwegian energy system.
Ecodesign and energy labelling establish minimum requirements for energy efficiency and eco-friendly design.
