It’s not just a design.
It’s a new way of
thinking about
buildings.
At VELUX, we believe it’s time to rethink how buildings can help resolve global climate and health challenges through sustainable solutions and practical action.
The building industry significantly impacts global energy consumption, accounting for up to 40% of total CO2 emissions. In response, VELUX joined forces with EFFEKT and Artelia, launching Living Places, an initiative focused on developing more sustainable building practices that prioritize both people and the planet.
Through collaborative partnerships with developers, contractors, and home builders, Living Places drives innovation
and creates a construction ecosystem that fosters shared knowledge.
Building for tomorrow, today.
The first experimental project, Living Places Copenhagen, exhibited the potential for a significant reduction in carbon footprint, and improved indoor climate in comparison to the benchmark home. While the Copenhagen prototype has concluded, its impact continues as valuable insights are scaled to new Living Places projects worldwide. Take a look at some of the most recent Living Places projects in the Netherlands, and Ukraine.
