50% lower CO2 footprint with new construction method

- This new construction method is truly revolutionary for us. SIP technology provides us with pre-insulated walls with better insulation performance than traditional construction methods. The thickness is smaller, but the insulation is denser, and that means a dramatic improvement in thermal performance.

Jimmy Kjærgård and Anders Svenheim are convinced that the new construction method is a major advance in how to work with sustainable development of compact units.

- We cut out close to 90% of the steel in the old models as we now transition to more sustainable wooden wall elements. The walls are finished to measure and we assemble them at the factory in Tønsberg. It'll be like building a Lego set.

The weight of the new micro-homes and holiday homes becomes with the new technology up to several tons lighter. It makes them more mobile, which Omgi and Svenheim believe has great benefits also for those who want to develop a plot for the rental of OMGI units on all kinds of nature-based plots.

‍

- We can now transport our devices more cost-effectively thanks to the new production method. This has made it easier to move the units with smaller hoist cranes or by helicopter on the smallest models, which also allows us to potentially get to less accessible places than before.

Omgi General Manager Aziz Chaer is very pleased to have put in place the new method, in collaboration with Ramboll and Snøhetta.

‍

- This new construction method marks the start of an exciting journey for Omgi. We are excited to be the frontrunners in sustainable and innovative solutions. With increased mobility, cost efficiencies and improved sustainability, we see a brighter, more accessible future for our devices and we are noticing strong interest from customers considering developing their own OMGI project.
