Case Study: Green Solution House VMS Case Study

At the Green Solution House, every component in the building contributes to circular sustainability. The design of the entire building complex is based on the criteria of the Active House​ vision, inspired by the cradle-to-cradle life cycle concept, and certified to the high standards of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). This is truly a one-of-a-kind design that will leave you in awe. 

Daylight plays an important role in the ambitious sustainability strategy of the hotel and conference center. In order to maximize daylight, 196 VELUX Modular Skylights (VMS) were installed in a Ridgelight configuration. These innovative skylights were installed in the large, inner courtyard and atrium. Here's a brief rundown of the green building design: 

• 196 VMS Ridgelight 25-40° modules provide large amounts of natural daylight to the interior courtyard.
• One third of the modular skylights are fitted with integrated photovoltaics to boost the building’s green profile and harness energy from the sun's rays.
• The building is designed for disassembly and constructed with recyclable materials.

The Green Solution House won the Active House Label Award in 2016 and serves as an innovative example in sustainable building and living.
