We’re updating for the climate!
Moderna Museet is engaged in several environmental initiatives, focusing especially on saving energy. By installing LED technology, we can save 800,000 kWh per year. Reducing our energy consumption means lower carbon, nitrogen oxide, sulphuric oxide and particle emissions.
LED lighting will be installed in phases and is estimated to take one year.
