Daylight America, Inc.

A true daylighting system is a series of integrated components which harvest, direct and diffuse natural light into interior spaces. The quantity and distribution of natural light effectively replaces electric lighting.

Daylighting is the controlled application of diffused natural light into a building’s interior, thus drastically reducing the use of electric lighting and therefore saving energy. Daylighting provides a direct connection to the dynamic and continuously evolving patterns of outdoor lighting, while providing a visually invigorating and productive environment for the people inside, and reducing the building’s total energy costs.

Commercial Daylighting Technologies including Active Daylighting™, Passive Daylighting™, Hybrid Daylighting™ and Hybrid Daylighting with LED™

Commercial daylighting is the practice of introducing adequate well diffused natural daylight into interior spaces to allow the electric lighting to be turned off or partially off, during daylight hours. The daylighting technologies discussed here represent top level (roof top) mounted systems and do not include other passive technologies such as windows or clerestories.

As a solar technology, daylighting is the most cost efficient and available of all solar technologies. Component manufacturing in Arizona assures ongoing supply with no reliance of foreign or even out of state supply chains. Project engineering and installation is relatively simple compared to other solar technologies.'

Achieve Better Productivity & Performance With Daylight

The respected studies of daylighting by Heschong-Mahone discovered:

• Office workers perform 10%-25% better on tests of mental function and memory recall.
• Call Center workers process calls 6%-12% faster.
• Students perform 20% more quickly on math tests and 26% more quickly on reading tests.
