Jørund Buen has signed for Energihuset

Our clients in banking and real estate will particularly benefit from Jørund's expertise and experience.

Experience from banking and previous role as sustainability director

Jørund comes from the role of Sustainability Director at SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge, where he worked closely with sustainability, risk management and regulatory requirements. This experience gives him a unique understanding of how banks assess risk and financing, knowledge that directly benefits our customers.

He knows what requirements banks have to comply with when assessing loans to real estate customers, because he himself has been involved in making these assessments. This allows Jørund to provide concrete and practical advice on how businesses can adapt to the banks' expectations and strengthen their financing base. Our banking and real estate customers will greatly benefit from this expertise.

Do you need a sparring partner within CSRD, the EU taxonomy, the Transparency Act or the Building Energy Directive ? Or do you want better insight into how new risk management requirements in banks will affect the financing of rental properties and real estate projects?

For us at Energihuset, professional expertise is the most important prerequisite for giving our customers the best advice. Jørund complements a strong professional environment consisting of engineers, energy advisors and IT specialists, and makes us even better equipped to help customers with the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Energy survey regulations deadline

The Energy Mapping Regulation: the deadline is scary, but that's not the point

The Energy Mapping Regulations have everything good scaremongering needs: a deadline (October 1, 2026), a requirement that far too few have realized applies to them, a threat (fines), and a bureaucratic three-letter acronym (NVE). But this is not an article to scare you into action.
