Danfoss House — the world's only multi-residential building of bricks and concrete to achieve the highest certification under the globally recognized DGNB-standard.
As buildings account for more than a third of the world’s energy consumption and 40% of all CO2 emissions, Danfoss has solutions that can change this.
It's actually pretty cool as an employee to see the Danfoss solutions in action. And it provides a lot of peace of mind for my family and me, having this place to stay in in the future.
The result
Danfoss House now serves as both a residential building and a full-scale demonstration platform for how multifamily housing can be decarbonized using technologies already available today. By combining energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, geothermal energy, digital controls, and smart building design, the project demonstrates how lower energy consumption and improved indoor comfort can go hand in hand.
The building has achieved DGNB Platinum certification — the highest level under one of the world’s leading sustainability standards — and is the only multi-residential building made of bricks and concrete to reach this certification level. Danfoss House has also received the DGNB Heart for indoor climate and well-being, the DGNB Diamond for architectural quality, and recognition as the most successful and beautiful new building in Sønderborg Municipality.
For Danfoss, the project reinforces the importance of demonstrating decarbonization solutions in real-world environments where people can experience the technologies directly.
Seeing is believing. It is really making the difference if you're able to show a real case as Danfoss House, you can touch it, you can look at it, you can go into it and you can see it's possible to build a super energy efficient house as we have here. In other words, the solutions are here, the components are here, and that is exactly what we are showing with Danfoss House.
