CIS Nordhavn is a school building for Copenhagen International School, which is located on a prominent site in Copenhagen's new Nordhavn district. The school is designed to integrate with the public sphere in the urban environment and provide age-adapted state-of-the-art learning environments as well as shared and extrovert activity spaces which also are for local community events. The unique façade covered in 12.000 solar panels which supplies more than half of the school's annual electricity consumption. The solar cells cover a total area of 6,048 square meters making it one of the largest building-integrated solar power plants in Denmark.
