Commercial
We call it daylight harvesting! Daylighting through the roof of a commercial building provides many benefits that no other light source can offer. With commercial skylights we can provide optimal light distribution at the building’s core while minimizing glare and enhancing you architectural designs. Did you know that one of the largest sources of energy consumption in commercial and industrial applications is from artificial lighting?
How commercial skylights improve spaces:
Reduce Energy costs!
-
Utilizing high visible light transmittance VELUX acrylic skylights can significantly reduce these energy costs through the benefits of daylighting.
-
A proper design of a skylit building would be 4%-6% skylight-to-floor ratio (SFR)
-
The cost of skylights is typically paid back in TWO YEARS!
-
Artificial lighting can be turned off 70-80% of the time with a properly designed daylit
area.
Energize employees!
-
Natural light makes people more productive, happier and healthier!

correlated to higher sales! Check out the ceiling in SAMS, COSTCO and Walmart for the
-
skylights in their buildings!

Why are grocery stores incorporating skylights into their designs?
-
Skylit stores make the interior look more cleaner, more spacious, more open and brighter!
Improve learning environment in schools!
-
Skylights in schools have been found to be positively and significantly correlated to better student performance
-
We have installed numerous commercial tubular skylights in schools over the past few years.
-
56% of the electricity that schools consume go to lighting!
-
Properly applying skylights into education building can provide energy savings over time while improving student performance
Healthcare Facilities/Hospitals/retirement communities
-
Natural light has been shown to expedite healing and improve overall personal health.
-
The lack of daylight can significantly disrupt the body’s internal clock!
-
The average 60 year old requires 2-3 times the amount of light compared to a 20 year old!
-
Natural light boosts visual acuity
-
Improved lighting has been shown to decrease injuries related to falls
