OPTIMUM NATURAL LIGHT IN THE INTERNAL SPACE - A QUESTION OF DESIGN
Natural daylight offers many benefits. People feel better in spaces that are well lit; energy costs are reduced and productivity improves. In that respect, nothing can compare to sunlight. But how can light be measured? Depending on the season and the degree of cloud cover, the intensity of natural daylight is between 5,000 and nearly 100,000 Lux - a huge variation.
Natural daylight entering through skylights in the roof is around five times more intense than daylight entering through windows.
Colt rooflights and structural glazing enable architects to use natural light to great effect, can integrate ventilation and allow stunning architectural features.
Colt has other products and systems which can enhance the effect of natural light in a building.
