| Daylight Design |
 |
Daylight is a vital natural resource that will significantly
improve the environment within any building. Rooflights provide
three times more light than the same area of vertical glazing.
They can also provide a much more even distribution of light,
particularly in larger structures. Where vertical glazing
exists, the effective area for natural lighting will only
be within 6m of the wall containing the window. These facts
are well understood by most people involved in building design.
However the huge potential of rooflights to provide exactly
the amount, type and distribution of natural light required
to meet any given specification is not always appreciated.
Rooflights can help to provide natural light with qualities
appropriate to the use of the building.
