The Benefits of Daylight
Daylighting is the process of bringing natural light into interior spaces through the use of skylights, reflective tubes, and other technologies. The benefits of daylight are enormous—not only does the use of daylighting technology reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, the lasting impact on human health, wellness, and productivity are incredibly significant.
Daylighting Can Improve Well-Being
Numerous studies have shown the positive impact of increased exposure to natural light on the health and well-being of the general public. Our body’s circadian system is directly linked to our exposure to light, with bright light suppressing melatonin production and increasing alertness. Our circadian rhythms play a critical role in regulating our body’s mood, hormones, sleep function, and our ability to heal ourselves and fight disease.
Daylighting Will Increase Productivity and Customer Experiences
By bringing natural daylight to interior spaces, Daylight Specialists can help clients enhance employee productivity, improve customer experiences, and support the health and well-being of anyone living, working, studying, shopping, or being treated in those spaces. From schools and offices to healthcare clinics and retail outlets, introducing daylight to interior spaces benefits everyone.
Daylighting Can Increase the Value of Your Commercial Property
Daylighting also reduces a building’s carbon footprint and lowers energy expenses related to lighting and electricity. Furthermore, buildings with green technologies like daylighting boast higher real estate and rental values and have less vacant spaces, overall.
“LEED” By Example with Daylighting
Green buildings are the way of the future, and daylighting solutions can help meet the needs of LEED certification, B3 building standards, and other green structure requirements. Our team is well versed in the complex codes and requirements for these standards, so you don’t have to be. Contact us today and tell us your needs and goals – let us figure out the best solutions for you.
