Keep your indoor spaces cooler and more energy-efficient this summer with these three simple cooling strategies: 1. Use solar shading ☀️ Block heat and sunlight with blinds or shutters, reducing indoor temperatures by up to 5°C. This decreases the need for air conditioning, saving energy use and money for cooling while enhancing indoor thermal comfort by maintaining consistent temperatures and reducing glare. 2. Open windows for ventilative cooling 🌬️ Boost natural ventilative cooling by opening windows, which can give up to 12 times more airflow than mechanical ventilation. Techniques like cross-ventilation and the stack effect can make indoor spaces feel cooler and cut down on energy use. 3. Practice night cooling 🌛 Cool down your indoor space by opening windows at night, a method called "night cooling”. It takes advantage of cooler night air to lower indoor temperatures by morning, making the daytime temperature more bearable. Studies show night cooling can reduce indoor temperatures significantly. These strategies will help you stay cool and comfortable while promoting energy savings for cooling.

Step into a journey through time as we explore the evolution of children's rooms 📖🎨   From humble beginnings to vibrant spaces brimming with imagination and creativity, witness the transformation of these rooms to reflect the changing needs and desires of children. But one thing has remained constant throughout time: the need for good lighting in children's rooms ⤵

Just as bright, just as cool ☀️ Your roof does not have to be sloped for you to add daylight from above and ventilation into your home. Flat roofs have been around for ages, and so have VELUX flat roof windows. Did you know that a flat roof window delivers 3 times more daylight than a façade window?

If you cannot dream about how the future could look, you cannot build it 🌟 Our Director for Sustainable Buildings, Lone Feifer, was a guest on the podcast “Design Can Dream” in collaboration with the 3daysofdesign festival held in Copenhagen. This episode is a conversation between the host, Kristina May from AM Copenhagen, and Lone Feifer, recorded in a floating podcast studio. Lone highlights the importance of dreaming and daring to innovate in the field of sustainable building design to be able to build a greener future. At VELUX, we aspire to openly share our knowledge and strategies to inspire and enable others in the industry to adopt sustainable practices.
