The organization is independent of political parties, and negotiate with the government once a year about farmers income.
CODE architecture as is situated in Oslo. The firm has 17 architects working on buildings, landscape design, urban design and city planning. The work of CODE is based on an understanding of the relationship between architecture and context, a striving for optimized organization and pragmatics. The work spans from small scale landscape design and cabins to large scale urban developments. Many of CODEs projects are done with energy efficient and sustainable solutions. Together with Rambøll and IFE, CODE won a competition on innovation and architecture where the aim was to create the world´s most energy efficient office building in an urban context, a large building in downtown Oslo. The competition was called URBAN+ an was held by Entra and Futurebuilt. The winning design bases it´s sustainable technology mainly on an extensive use of solar cells for energy production.

The Quartz Corp (TQC) is a major supplier of high purity quartz sand. TQC produces a series of different products for fused quartz applications. The optical, mechanical and thermal properties of high purity quartz products are unique and make them indispensable for the fabrication of highly technical fused quartz products. One of the major fields of applications is quartz glass crucibles made by arc-melting high purity quartz sand. Quartz glass crucibles are used by the semiconductor and solar industries for growing single crystal ingots from silicon metal by using the Czochralski crystal growing process. TQCs interest in the SUSOLTECH Centre is to understand more about the high purity quartz crucibles role in the mono crystalline Si solar cell production chain.
