| Good daylighting brings natural diffused light into a building or space without allowing glare or heat gain | Studies have shown that people thrive when natural light is utilized. They are more productive in office and manufacturing settings, learn better in schools, heal faster in hospitals, and linger longer and spend more money in stores.
The creation of daylighting systems mixes science and engineering to allow natural light into building spaces. Successful daylighting adds to the quality of life in the space and saves money on energy costs. The light provided by a good daylighting system is visually pleasing while reducing solar heat gain and eliminating glare. This results in lower electrical costs for both lighting and air conditioning while providing a healthy stimulating environment. | | |
