Looking ahead
In order to find solutions to the challenges of climate change and livability, we need to examine a future model that addresses them as a holistic solution.
The aim of future construction is to consider the energy use during construction and in subsequent use of buildings, and to create an efficient building envelope with technology and design without compromising the highest standards of indoor comfort and health – at the same time as producing the lowest possible climate impact by using re-newable energy sources and implementing the concept of climate payback.
Active House
Active House responds to environmental and climatic changes via a holistic approach – and shows the way to future standards through experimentation. With its central focus on health and comfort active houses are designed and built to achieve a balance between three parameters: energy, indoor climate and environment. The VELUX Group and Model Home 2020 supportsthis way of thinking.
