A new generation of products defines the agenda for sustainable living. By engaging with people who are just as passionate about daylight and fresh air as we are, we have proven that it’s possible to balance energy and comfort for a healthier indoor environment.
Energy consumption in buildings
The global population is predicted to reach 10 billion by 2050, with seven billion expected to live in cities. Living sustainably is one of the greatest challenges facing city dwellers, authorities and politicians today. As buildings account for 40 percent of all energy consumption in Europe, they can play an important role in reducing the world’s energy consumption.
Building sustainably
In 2009, the VELUX Group initiated the ‘Model Home 2020’ project to show that it is possible to build sustainable buildings for the future. Six full-scale demonstration buildings were set up in Europe by 2011. By 2017, the VELUX Group had more than 20 demonstration buildings around the world, where people could live, work, and go to school – proving that energy efficiency and quality of life can go hand in hand.
Two new product ranges were launched in 2012
Our New Generation of roof windows with improved energy balance and VELUX Modular Skylights – a completely new business area that focuses on bringing daylight and fresh air into commercial buildings - represent our largest investment to date and reflect our commitment to solving global challenges.
Our 75th Anniversary
In 2016, the VELUX Group celebrated 75 years of innovation and dedication to bringing daylight and fresh air into people's lives. Today, we are proud to offer a range of products and solutions that contribute to the quality of life for people in their homes and workplaces, as well as supporting better learning for kids in school.
