"The VELUX Group is launching the next step in its Action Leadership agenda as an experiment to explore how existing buildings can better serve both people and planet. The experiment builds on decades of demonstration projects and research into healthy buildings, including Living Places, which achieved an ultra-low carbon footprint and first-class indoor climate in an affordable and accessible way."
"Re:Living is a forward-thinking experiment to reimagine renovation to be more than a technical upgrade, and instead as a holistic opportunity to improve human well-being, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental impact. It's part of VELUX's long-term commitment to lead the building industry toward healthier, more sustainable practices, driven by a belief that simply reducing harm is no longer enough. The experiment is driven by several urgent challenges: today, the built environment is responsible for one-third of global emissions-pushing our planet beyond its limits."
Re:Living repurposes renovation as a holistic opportunity to improve human well-being, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental impact. The experiment builds on decades of demonstration projects and research into healthy buildings, including Living Places, which achieved an ultra-low carbon footprint and first-class indoor climate affordably. The built environment currently accounts for one-third of global emissions, and construction-related material consumption contributes to threats facing 29% of endangered species. One in four Europeans lives with poor indoor air quality, and 146 million European buildings require upgrades by 2050 to meet Paris Agreement climate targets. Re:Living will identify challenges and convene changemakers to develop scalable, regenerative renovation approaches that prioritize health, biodiversity, and emissions reductions.
