Reduced Energy Consumption
Not only is natural daylight good for our health and well being, but it also reduces energy consumption and helps save electricity costs.

In winter months, homes can also benefit from solar heat gain, which is passive heating provided from skylights and vertical windows. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example of natural ventilation and solar heat gain
 
Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation frees the home from humid air, harmful particles and toxins emitted from electronic devices and chemicals in the home, thereby minimizing the risk of health problems, such as asthma and allergies.
 
Opening skylights contribute to a  home’s natural ventilation system. Installed high in the roof, they create a  stack effect which draws warm, stale air out of the home and pulls cool air in from open vertical windows. Natural ventilation can help reduce your needs for A/C and lower energy costs in a  home.
 
Natural light contributes to new qualities to traditional homes. Optimal daylight conditions provide a balanced, well-lit space with a healthy indoor climate that positively affects the homeowners and their families.
