Bringing natural light into buildings is
now recognized as having significant
evidence-based benefits: both in
human health factors, such as
wellbeing and workplace efficiency, and
also in terms of energy efficiency in
performance.
Skylights have been
encouraged by building
regulations in recent years,
with both LED and Virtual
Skylights solutions a growing
option.
Energy Efficiency - Research shows
that a roof installed skylight area of 15-
20% can contribute to an overall
reduction in CO2 emissions in many
buildings, illustrating that skylights
also contribute to a greater
environmental good.
Skylights in Northern Hemisphere - Daylight
and natural light in buildings is of particular
interest in northern countries, where low levels
of sunlight and denser cloud cover create the
need to capture more light within facilities,
particularly in winter months where SAD and
other human health effe
Skylights Bring Well-Being -
When you introduce
daylighting into offices, it
increases morale and
productivity.
In shops and stores, increased
skylights can be good for sales
with an average of 5.5%
increase over stores without
natural lighting.
Global Legislation Recommends
Skylights - Global building
regulations now recommend a
minimum of 10% skylight area in
commercial buildings, while the UK
is achieving a national standard of
20% skylight area.
Skylights are said to be up
to three times for more
effective supplying daylight
than vertical windows.
Skylights Ease of Installation - Skylights in
general have become easier to install, but
Artificial Sky has become the leader in no-
leak, cost-effective, dust-free virtual
skylights with their 3 most popular
products; LED Skylights, Virtual Sky and
Virtual Panels.
Many buildings cannot have a
skylight on every floor due to
structural issues and costs, but
Artificial Sky can easily bring the
effects of natural daylight to every
floor in any location of a building.
