Why skylights?

Natural daylight is Free!

Skylights provide natural light and ventilation without providing a direct line of sight into a building.

Operable skylights or roof windows create a thermal chimney effect, allowing hot air to escape and cooler air to be drawn in through windows.

Venting skylights improve air quality by exhausting indoor air pollution.

Natural light provides up to 90% of our Vitamin D, which is required for healthy bones and tissues.

Studies using natural daylighting instead of conventional electric lighting in elementary schools have shown better attendance, less noise, increased concentration, and better scholastic performance.

20% of the population suffers varying degrees of Seasonal Affective Disorder, experiencing depression, reduced energy, increased appetite, and increased sleep. SAD has been directly linked to lack of sufficient daylight.

Increased exposure to natural light may slow the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

Daylight can be 10 to 100 times brighter than interior lighting, a significant aid for our rapidly expanding elderly population.

Studies indicate that inadequate light for visual acuity is a factor associated with many falls in the elderly population. According to the National Safety Council, falling down is the leading cause of accidental death of the elderly. The light requirement for the elderly may be five times that of young people.
