Daylighting in Residential, Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Daylighting is the practice of utilizing natural light or sunlight to brighten the interior spaces of a building. It requires careful design and strategic placement of daylighting systems to effectively capture and distribute sunlight throughout the structure.

Skyshade Daylighting Systems in Residential Buildings:

Energy Efficiency: Harnessing natural light minimizes the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, resulting in energy savings and reduced electricity costs.

Aesthetics: Natural light significantly enhances the visual appeal of interiors, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It also highlights architectural features and design elements.

Well-being: Access to natural light is associated with improved mood, heightened productivity, and better sleep quality. In residential settings, it promotes a healthier and more enjoyable living space.

Daylighting Systems in Commercial and Industrial Buildings:

Productivity: Daylighting positively influences employee well-being and productivity. Individuals in well-lit environments are generally more alert and focused.

Cost Savings: A decreased dependence on artificial lighting leads to lower energy expenses for businesses, which can accumulate to substantial savings over time. Regulatory Compliance: Numerous building codes and standards now incorporate requirements for daylighting to encourage sustainable and energy-efficient construction.

Types of Skyshade’s Daylighting Systems:

Lightpipe: Lightpipe is a revolutionary product of Skyshade’s Daylighting Technology which transmits natural light or sunlight into the building interior spaces. These systems have patented sunlight collectors that allow efficient natural light into the interiors of the building. The active/passive sunlight collectors transmit light throughout the day, therefore reducing dependency over artificial lighting during the day.

Basement Daylighting: Addressing the challenges of limited natural light, lack of safety and excess energy consumption in basements, Skyshade introduces innovative Daylighting system LIGTPIPE to transform basements into efficient spaces with reduced glare and maximized productivity.

Norikool: Norikool Skylights are unique double glazed, single piece molded daylight system. These skylights are perfect to replace flat strip lights or roof lights of commercial & industrial buildings. These skylights transmit natural light with excellent distribution to longer footprints inside the building providing up to 80% electrical savings during the day.

Skyshelves (lightshelves): Skyshelves or light shelves are daylight redirecting films/panels for windows and glass facades of residential, commercial or industrial buildings. These systems provide efficient and controlled natural light transmission into the interiors of the buildings with reduced heat and glare for creating productive and comfortable spaces.

Daylighting represents a comprehensive approach to building design that extends beyond just offering light. It involves a thoughtful incorporation of natural light aimed at improving energy efficiency, enhancing the well-being of occupants, and boosting overall building performance. Whether in residential spaces, workplaces, or industrial settings, adopting daylighting principles plays a significant role in creating a more sustainable and comfortable environment.
