DR Byen

The Danish Broadcasting Company (DR) has collected all its activities in the capital in a single complex. The media center is divided into four segments designed by 4 different architects and was built in different stages. The project was at the same time experimental carrying out new methods of digital design and communication.

The roof of DR Byen features a 1,060 m2 array of solar cells, making it one of the largest solar heating installations in Denmark. The solar cells produce in the neighborhood of 80-100 MWh per annum. This energy is used for instance for groundwater cooling of the buildings.
