Daylighting refers to the use of windows, doors, and skylights to draw external natural light into a space to minimize the use of internal artificial light.
Properly configured daylighting has been shown to promote visual, mental, and biological wellness, as well as thermal comfort. Daylighting also can reduce or eliminate the need for artificial lighting, resulting in lower energy usage and cost.
Products that control, direct and diffuse natural light are important for daylighting. Abbey-Simons offers a variety of daylighting products including skylights, sky roofs, translucent facades, translucent canopies, and roller shades.
Daylighting offers an array of benefits, including ensuring visual comfort and acuity; improving mood, productivity, and overall performance; and delivering healing effects for occupants.
