The University of Copenhagen, The Danish University and Property Agency, the Municipality of Copenhagen, VELFAC and VELUX entered a strategic alliance to construct a new sustainable building with optimal balance between energy efficiency, architectural quality, healthy indoor climate and good daylight conditions. The building has facilities for the dean, professors and students of the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen.
The partners want the project to be a beacon for sustainable building in Copenhagen, Denmark and the rest of Europe. So the Green Lighthouse, as it is known, was is intended to be a showpiece for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 15) which was held in Copenhagen late 2009.
