House of Green will open on 5 September, 2013
House of Green is an interactive showroom and visitors' center located at the newly renovated Industriens Hus in the heart of Copenhagen. House of Green uses a combination of guided storytelling and self-exploration to showcase Danish integrated solutions and scenarios across the landscape of energy, water, climate, resources and the environment.
House of Green is designed as one single space with three main areas:
The visitors' center and interactive showroom are primarily aimed at foreign delegations visiting Denmark. Danish representatives act as hosts that both inspire and inform delegations before they move on to on-site visits. The showroom guides the visitor through the landscape of green Danish solutions through a combination of storytelling and self-exploration. The showroom also houses a permanent, interactive installation that highlights the potential and possibilities nested in the green Danish business sector.
The virtual universe tells coherent and dynamic stories about Denmark and the Danish industry’s green capabilities on many levels – from the Danish vision of becoming fossil free by 2050 over cross-sector stories to branch specific solutions. Furthermore, visitors are able to explore solutions based on their own interests through a combination of stories, facts, photos and videos.
The lounge area and flexible meeting facilities invite collaboration, negotiation and knowledge-sharing among Danish as well as international stakeholders, organizations and companies.

House of Green became a reality through a grant of DKK 15 million by the Danish Industry Foundation: Mads Lebech, CEO of the Danish Industry Foundation: “The Danish Industry Foundation thinks that the idea of creating a combined physical and virtual frame around the green Danish narrative is appropriate and relevant in relation to strengthening Danish competitiveness. We are very pleased that this is realized and that a unique international presence can be create to contribute to strengthening the competitive position of Danish business life. This project highlights Denmark’s commitment towards green technologies and creates added value to Danish business life when sustainable solutions based on systems thinking is showcased”. |
