Achieve energy savings with skylights
Artificial lighting is one of the largest sources of energy consumption in commercial and industrial applications. On average, artificial lighting accounts for 40% of the building’s
total energy. Utilizing the high visible light transmittance produces from commercial skylights from VELUX has been shown to significantly reduce these energy costs through the benefits of daylighting.
Typically, proper design of a skylit building results in a skylight-to-floor ratio (SFR) of between 4% - 6%. With proper design, the cost of skylights is paid back often in less than two years. This is because high visible light transmitting skylights from VELUX allow artificial lighting to be turned off on average of 70% - 80% of the time. |
VELUX can help you determine the correct number of skylights to achieve maximum energy savings or obtain a desired lighting level.
