International VELUX Award 2016
The International VELUX Award for students of architecture is a competition that wants to encourage and challenge students to explore the theme of daylight – and to create a deeper understanding of this ever-relevant source of energy, light and life.
The award encourages projects that celebrate the privilege of being a student with curiosity and with the willingness to think “out of the box” – as well as consider the social, sociological and environmental dimension of daylight.

VELUX Daylight Visualizer is a simulation tool developed by Luxion for the VELUX Group. It provides physically-based simulations and analysis of the effect of windows and daylighting in buildings. The visualizer includes a modeling component to build simple house models and add windows from an integrated database of VELUX roof and facade products. It is also possible to perform daylighting simulation on models imported from 3D modeling software.
