Daylighting
Daylighting is simply using the sun’s light to brighten a room. By using skylights, natural light is allowed in minimizing the need for artificial lighting. This not only saves energy, but has been proven to enhance mood.
There are many types of skylights available. We sell Natural Light tubular skylighting systems which are the best in the industry. Tubular skylights have a mirror-finish Light-Pipe tube which collects, amplifies, and disperses the outside light into your room.
Daylighting is an important part of passive solar design.
A well-designed passive solar building will use the sun’s energy not only for heating and cooling, but lighting as well. Consider sun angles during different times of day as well as during different seasons of the year (The sun will be lower in the Southern sky during Northern hemisphere winter months). A thorough understanding of the sun’s position in the sky is important to being able to control where and when light enters the structure, especially for thermal purposes, but for most ambient daylighting purposes installing skylights is easy and rewarding.
