SKYLIGHTS AND DAYLIGHTING SYSTEMS
Skylights and daylighting can save building owners thousands of dollars on energy costs for electric lighting in a building.
Since significant daylight is often available during utility peak demand hours, daylighting can reduce these demands, lower your energy costs and lower our impact on the planet.
There are a wide array of daylighting products and solutions available to assist building owners with adding natural light to their building envelope, thereby cutting energy costs. Many of these products come with warranties as long as 20 years, covering any incident of leakage in the skylight, curb or flashing installation.
LOWER ENERGY COSTS
Electric lighting makes up anywhere between 35% to 50% of a in commercial building's total energy consumption. These costs can be lowered by up to 80% when daylighting and skylights are used.
LOWER COOLING COSTS
The Energy Center of Wisconsin conducted a study to measure the amount of cooling energy that could be saved through daylighting systems. Their results showed a considerable savings of more than 20% on operating costs, about $1.13 per square foot.
HAPPIER EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS
Studies show that people thrive in a natural environment. With natural lighting you will have happier employees, shoppers that linger longer, and office workers who are more productive with less sick days.
BETTER FOR STUDENTS
Studies conducted in schools have shown a direct correlation between reduced absenteeism and increased test scores in schools that have skylights in classrooms.
COST EFFECTIVE
There are many types of skylights and daylighting systems to fit any budget or building style.

Doesn't daylighting allow too much heat into a building?
Actually no. In fact, the light-to-heat ratio for daylighting is actually cooler than that of electric lights. Properly designed daylighting screens out 99% of the sun’s heat while providing excellent lighting.
For daylighting to be effective don't you need constant sunny weather?
False! Even an overcast sky provides a hundred times more light than is needed for daylighting.
