Six experiments

The VELUX Group has launched the project Model Home 2020. It is our vision for climate-neutral buildings with a high level of liveability. This is part of a VELUX strategy to take an active part in developing sustainable buildings – the buildings of the future. The vision and principles behind Model Home 2020 need to be developed and t­ested; so from 2009 to 2011, we will build six full-scale experimental demo-houses which will be placed at six different locations in five countries.

The two experiments in Denmark were built as a partnership between the VELUX Group and 
V­ELFAC. Each of the six houses will also involve a number of local and regional partners, suppliers, architects, engineers and r­esearchers.
They will all reflect and respond to three main principles – efficient energy design, high degree of liveability and minimum climate impact – as well as the different climatic, cultural and architectural conditions of the countries in which they are built.
