IGBC Lunch & Learn: Living Places – Delivering Sustainable Homes for a Better Future | Velux

Discover how smart, sustainable design can transform the way we live and protect our planet.

About the Event

We are the Indoor Generation.
Did you know that we spend 90% of our time indoors, where the air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outside? The way we design and construct our homes has a profound impact on human health, well-being, and the environment.

Join us for an inspiring Lunch & Learn session with David Gallagher, Housing Development Manager at VELUX, as he introduces the Living Places initiative – a groundbreaking concept that reimagines sustainable housing through the use of daylight, fresh air, and low-carbon materials.

This engaging online session is designed for:

• Architects & Designers
• Engineers & Contractors
• Sustainability Professionals
• Investors & Developers
• Anyone passionate about healthy, sustainable living environments

What You’ll Learn

✅ Why indoor environments are critical to our health — and the implications of being part of the Indoor Generation

✅ How natural daylight and ventilation can transform indoor spaces into healthy living environments

✅ How to implement the Active House Principles in your own building projects

✅ How material choices can significantly reduce a home’s carbon footprint

Why It Matters

Buildings account for a major share of global emissions, but they can also be a key part of the solution. Through innovative design and better building practices, we can create homes that are not only more sustainable, but also healthier and more comfortable to live in.

Let’s shape the future of housing one healthy, low-impact home at a time.
