Improvements of indoor living environment
Improvements of indoor living environment The Elgin House
The Elgin House is a traditional Canadian model home enriched now with new features that ensure comfortable living and healthy indoor environment. The building design presents a new solution with the addition of skylights that give maximum access of natural daylight and natural ventilation.
The new skylights offer optimal levels of daylight and make the house ‘‘breathe’’ - an activation of natural ventilation when the warm air rise up through the house and out of the windows.
Natural light contributes to new qualities to traditional Canadian houses. Optimal daylight conditions provide a balanced, well-lit space with a healthy indoor climate that positively affects the people living there.

Daylight and Fresh AirToday we spend 90% of our time indoors in artificially created environments with artificial lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling. These systems which separate us from the natural environment and create poor air quality, inadequate levels of daylight, thermal discomfort, etc, can contribute to increasing health problems. To improve the well being of families and living conditions, we strive to incorporate abundant natural light, fresh air ventilation, and reduced energy requirements in new home designs.

Healthy Environment
Several studies show that daylight has a positive impact on health, productivity, children’s learning abilities and general well-being. Similarly, fresh air via natural ventilation is vital for producing a healthy indoor climate, reducing the consequences of toxins emitted from sources such as electronic devices and chemicals in the home, therefore minimizing the risk of allergies.
Maximum daylight and ventilation are preconditions for ensuring optimal indoor comfort and minimal energy consumption consistent with future standards.
Four skylights have been installed and provide the living room with beautiful daylight which reaches the far corners of the room. Skylights are great source of extra light and let in twice as much light as vertical windows. After skylight installation: electric opening skylights

The skylights placed in the living room also provide natural light to the adjacent kitchen, stairwell, and hallway. Thus creating well lit and open feeling spaces in areas that were previously dark spots. Before
