A healthy home with better indoor climate

Guest blog by Grant Sneddon, Product Manager at VELUX

We spend up to 90% of our time inside of buildings, whether at work or at home. But, how often do we talk about the indoor climate? Research has proven that a healthy home requires daylight and plenty of fresh air.
