Seeking to actively respond to the climate-related challenges of the 21st century, VELUX’s sustainability strategy includes a series of measurable steps towards positive change as we focus on how buildings can help solve global challenges with sustainable solutions and practical actions. One of these steps is Build for Life, a pioneering, multidisciplinary initiative launched in 2021 to help connect people and the planet through better building design.

The Build for Life 2021 Conference will be held on November 15-17, and is an open invitation to join a global conversation on how buildings can benefit the environment and improve the quality of life for people around the world.

The event will bring together architects, home builders, researchers, and other thought leaders to discuss some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the construction industry now and in the future. The three-day Build For Life conference will feature more than 90 speakers and connect viewers from the global construction industry and beyond. The conference is free for all and will be fully digital with interactive presentations and dialogues.
