In order to find solutions to the challenges of climate change and liveability, we need to examine a future model that addresses them as a holistic solution.
The ultimate objective of future construction is three-fold. It should ensure that the energy consumed in the construction and subsequent use of a building is taken into account in the design phase; it should employ modern technology and visionary
design to create an efficient building envelope without compromising the highest standards of comfort and health; and it should have the lowest possible impact on the climate by using renewable energy sources and adopting the concept of climate payback.

The VELUX Group is working hard today on the solutions of tomorrow by promoting architecture that enhances our quality of life and the sustainable development of society. The VELUX Group has already developed CO2-neutral solutions – the SOLTAG demo house for markets in Northern Europe and the Atika concept house for the Mediterranean countries.
We wish to contribute to setting the agenda for a new generation of energy-efficient housing that does not compromise people’s living comfort, but ensures a healthy indoor climate with plenty of fresh air and daylight while also ensuring architectural quality.
Part of this strategy is the project Model Home 2020 – our vision for how we should construct future buildings. |
