VELUX Opens Austria's First Carbon-Neutral one-Family House


VELUX has recently opened Austria's first carbon-neutral one-family house, Sunlighthouse, which is placed in Pressbaum near Vienna, Austria. Sunlighthouse is the third of six Model Home 2020 experiment in Europe launched by the VELUX Group as part of their strategy to take an active part in developing sustainable buildings for the future. It is the VELUX vision of how future buildings can be both climate-neutral, comfortable and attractive places to live in through daylight and fresh air. The house will be opened for the public for several months, where after it will be sold. VELUX Austria will continue to monitor the Model Home 2020 experiment with the new residents in order to learn how the building performs in real life conditions. Available video includes an animation clip and still images.
