Energy-intensive building

Green Lighthouse is Denmark’s first public carbon-neutral building. The building has been built in less than a year in a close public/private partnership.

Green Lighthouse is an energy-efficient building of great architectural merit, with a high influx of daylight. Inspired by the sundial and the movement of the sun around the building, Green Lighthouse plays on the sun as a source of energy and on its role in science. As sustainable as it is healthy, Green Lighthouse relies on district heating, solar cells, solar heating and cooling, seasonal storage and innovative architecture to create a gorgeous, CO2-neutral building.
 
The partners behind the building both from the public and the private sphere. They are the University of Copenhagen, VELUX, VELFAC, the Danish Building and Property Agency (UBST) and the City of Copenhagen.

Contracting method

Public Private Partnership

If you had to do it again?

We commissioned the first year into the turnkey contract, this was a good experience. For next projects, it should be commissioned for 3-5 years.

Building users opinion

Very good indoor climate, cf interviews made for "Green Buildings Pay" book written by Brian Edwards & Emanuele Naboni, ed. 3, Routledge

    heat pump designed for solar cooling, used reverse; taking in hot water from the roof - solar thermal, by use of seasonal storage from summer to winter, and then adding the district heating. http://www.sortech.de/en/

    worked well - only few problems with vacuum

Indoor Air quality

    Based on the relative comfort principle, according to EN 15 251. User is connected to outdoors visually, and also in terms of comfort. During winter, the IAQ is stable based on mechanical ventilation and heat exchange, during summer the users enjoy natural ventilation, combined with night cooling.

Comfort

    The architectural concept of the house is the sun dial; the house follows the sun, also by its window design, where the facade windows and exterior sunscreening follow the path of the sun. The users can follow the seasons changing, and adapt the indoor climate individually. The house is flooded with daylight on all floors, and there is a "cathedral effect" through the central atrium, where users benefit from a 2500+ lux experience, to benefit their well-being and productivity.
