Koteng Eiendom: When Extreme Weather “Amy” Put Telescope to the Test

When extreme weather Amy hit, Koteng Eiendom saw Telescope’s value in action. The analyses they had done beforehand matched reality - giving them confidence, control, and the ability to act quickly.

When the extreme weather Amy hit Norway, Koteng Eiendom experienced first-hand how Telescope provides real preparedness and valuable insight.

The company had already integrated Telescope into its climate risk work — using it to understand and manage exposure across its property portfolio.

When the storm came, the data and analyses in Telescope clearly confirmed that the groundwork was effective. The event showed how accurate data and continuous assessment provide confidence when extreme weather occurs.

Prepared Through Insight

Koteng Eiendom uses Telescope as a central tool in its ongoing work to understand and manage climate risk.

Through Telescope, they have mapped multiple types of risk — such as storms and heavy wind — and identified which buildings are most exposed.

This insight gave the team a clear picture of each building’s strengths and weaknesses, helping them take targeted preventive actions and prepare for severe weather events.

“Telescope gives us confidence that we have overview and control. We know where the risks are – and can stay ahead as weather and climate change.”
Rune, Koteng Eiendom

When the Storm Hit

When Amy struck, Koteng could clearly see how the analyses in Telescope aligned with what actually happened.

The areas and buildings previously identified as most vulnerable were also the ones that experienced the strongest impacts.

The awareness and preventive measures taken based on Telescope’s data helped the team prepare, communicate, and respond effectively as conditions worsened.

After the Storm: From Reporting to Continuous Risk Management

Right after Amy, Koteng’s team went back into Telescope — not to start over, but to learn.

They updated vulnerabilities, adjusted assumptions, and revised risk levels based on what they had observed over the weekend.

This experience transformed climate risk work from a periodic reporting task into a living, practical process.

By linking real events to continuous analysis, Koteng now ensures that its risk assessments are always up to date — reflecting the actual conditions they face.

Clear Value for Koteng Eiendom

The Amy storm confirmed the value of using Telescope in daily climate risk work.

The platform has given Koteng:

  • Accurate and up-to-date data – a reliable foundation for decisions
  • Full visibility into risk and exposure – across the entire property portfolio
  • The ability to plan and act – before, during, and after extreme weather events
  • A proactive advantage – by staying ahead and responding faster when weather intensifies

For Koteng, Amy became tangible proof of Telescope’s value.

The experience provided leadership and finance teams with clear evidence that climate adaptation is not just about reporting — it’s about risk management in practice.

The storm also strengthened internal trust in Telescope’s data and forecasts, motivating Koteng to expand its use of the platform across more parts of the organization.

Telescope has helped Koteng Eiendom move from climate risk reporting to climate readiness — where insight turns into action, and experience into learning.
