Active House Talks: Advancing the Active House Radar for People and Planet
Advancing the Active House Radar for People & Planet
Active House Talk
Join us as Ambra Guglietti, Senior Sustainable & Healthy Buildings Manager at VELUX, reveals how they’ve expanded on the Active House Radar to include a critical new indicator: biodiversity loss. VELUX innovative “People and Planet Model” takes holistic building assessment to the next level, making climate science considerations practical for everyday building decisions.
How do we design buildings that respect planetary boundaries while creating healthy spaces for people?
What you’ll discover:
- Understand the Active House Radar: a performance framework that assesses buildings across comfort, energy, and environment, guiding the international sector toward healthy, low-carbon, and resilient design.
- Learn from VELUX’s innovations: extending the Radar with new metrics, data-driven tools, and case studies to address daylight, indoor air quality, operational and embodied carbon, and lifecycle performance.
- See how collaboration translates climate science into action: cross-industry partnerships align targets (e.g., carbon budgets, overheating thresholds) with practical design guidance, benchmarks, and verification methods for the built environment.
Who Should Watch: Architects, developers, building owners, sustainability professionals—anyone creating spaces where people and planet both thrive.
