Experience the daylight difference - in a virtual reality
Sometimes it can be difficult to understand the impact of daylight without first seeing its opposite – darkness. Digital technology is making this easier to visualise during the design phase of a project, providing powerful tools for making informed decisions when it comes to daylight design. To experience the difference, scroll down and take a virtual tour.

Indoor air has been shown to be up to 5x more polluted than outdoor air*
Ventilation is a balance between energy consumption, health and costs – too much ventilation will increase energy use in cold climates and lead to draughts, too little will cause bad indoor air quality and possible health problems.
The best way to achieve a good balance is through active systems that use smart sensors and automatically open and close windows, to ensure optimal indoor climate with low energy consumption.
