About VELUX

Our commitment to the environment

Velux HomeWe take our commitment very seriously and have successfully implemented practical energy saving initiatives which look at reducing energy consumption throughout the business.

This has taken the form of the following tangible efforts:

  • The design of our products are optimised to reduce the environmental effect so that during manufacturing, usage and disposal effects are minimal.
  • The use of raw materials, water and energy during production are efficient to diminish the effects on the environment.
  • Reduce, where possible, emissions, waste and discharge from our activities.
  • Cooperation with our suppliers, customers and other business partners to achieve higher environmental standards.
  • Remain alert to new opportunities enhancing the environmental soundness of our products and manufacturing methods beyond what is generally expected.

Small changes, big impacts

Almost half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy we use every day at home for heating. By switching to a heat generated through less carbon-intensive technologies, such as a solar hot water system, would make a dramatic impact on climate change. By committing to saving just 20% of the energy you use every day, you can help prevent climate change. By using a VELUX solar hot water system you can help meet this target.

Sustainable Technology

As well as the constant development to improve energy efficiency to all of our product range we at VELUX have also realised the need to contribute renewable technologies. With the expertise of roof-integrated products VELUX have produced a solar hot water system which is a great method of sustainable heating for your home.

A hot water system will typically provide up to 70% of a home’s hot water requirements which will make a substantial reduction on the amount of gas or electricity for domestic hot water requirements.
