  In Norway, green care comprises farm-based services to schools as well as health and social care. Farms can be used to host a wide range of activities, such as kindergartens, after-school programmes, school projects and theme assignments, education adapted to pupils with special needs, activities and tasks designed for psychiatric patients, mentally impaired and elderly with dementia. Green care farms can also assist child welfare authorities, e.g., by acting as day-care centres or foster homes. Three case presentations of service farms are given. As a large fraction of Norwegian farms are rather small, they are well suited for such services, which in most cases are paid by the local municipality. The county departments of agriculture provide advice and help in developing quality assurance tools for the green care services and their physical environments. For persons with mental disorders, e.g., a psychiatric institution has the professional responsibility. Scientific research on green care is performed at two institutions. The Centre for Rural Research has conducted a nation-wide survey of green care farms. At The Agricultural University of Norway, research focusses on effects on persons with mental disorders of working with farm animals, and on health effects of plants indoor and in the working environment. This university also gives courses on green care at Bachelor level and as continuing education to farmers and health personnell. The chapter ends with a discussion on future challenges related to green care.

  Powerhouse #1 is planned to become the first and northernmost energy-positive office building. An alliance of companies within the Norwegian construction industry has been established to reach this ambition. Partnering has been suggested as a means to improve performance in general within the construction industry. Studies reveal that the industry is yet to yield the positive effects that have occurred in other industries. Strategic alliances such as Powerhouse are an exception within Norwegian construction industry. The paper analyses the case of Powerhouse #1 regarding collaborative working and experienced effects to the energy performance of the project. The material consists of interviews with participants in workshops during concept phase of the project, in addition to written and oral presentations. Our findings indicate that Powerhouse are aiming to combine longterm and project business objectives. Industrial Energy Design methodology has resulted in an energy concept for a building with outstanding energy performance. During the process shared understanding and respect has developed between the participants. If the project is able to realize the ambition on commercial conditions it will represent a turning point regarding energy efficient construction.

  Norwegian construction industry is challenged to improve energy efficiency. However changes are slow. This paper redefines the problem as organizational, and explores the use of collaborative working as a means to overcome the challenge. Three role model projects with extra high energy ambitions are being analysed. They are all new office buildings, completed in 2009-2010 by professional property developers. The concepts include combinations of technical solutions that had not previously been used in Norway at the time of completion, and they all achieved prizewinning results. Case studies include interviews with key informants from planning stage in addition to available project descriptions. Findings are that the projects include more extensive multiprofessional collaboration than traditional construction projects. Establishing multi-professional teams at an early stage, workshops and kick-off meetings are among the means being used. So are partnering contracts with contractor and green tendering contracts. The relevance of extraordinary collaboration is partly to reduce risks, partly to pool knowledge and partly to improve the results. Our findings are supported by previous studies of innovative and complex projects within various industries. In conclusion extensive collaboration among highly skilled professionals had vital importance for reaching the record beating energy performance of the buildings in the case projects.
