Why Prioritize Daylighting?
Daylighting isn’t just a design feature—it’s a building performance strategy with proven impact. Natural daylight reduces dependence on electric lighting, helping facilities meet energy efficiency goals without sacrificing occupant comfort. But the real impact isn’t on the energy bill, it’s on the building occupants. Access to natural light improves everything from mood to mental clarity, and has measurable outcomes in many sectors. Human-centric design starts with daylight—because it starts with how people feel, think, and perform in a space.
Education
Support better learning outcomes with well-designed daylighting. Studies show students in naturally lit classrooms score up to 20% higher on tests and have improved attendance.
Manufacturing
Enhance safety and productivity on the floor. Daylight improves visibility and alertness, reduces errors, and increases safety.
Retail
Highlight merchandise naturally and create inviting, engaging environments. Studies show daylit stores experience increased dwell time and boosted sales.
Business & Office
Improve workplace productivity and employee well-being. Offices with quality daylight see higher employee productivity, satisfaction, and retention.
Recreation
Gymnasiums, natatoriums, and community centers thrive with daylight-rich design. Daylighting in these environments enforces our natural connection to the outside world.
Retrofit Consultation for Legacy Buildings
Retrofit daylighting is one of the most effective ways to improve building performance without major disruption. Whether you’re replacing aging skylights, introducing Solatube TDDs into deep floorplates, or supplementing outdated systems, Kingspan’s modular solutions make daylight retrofits flexible and cost-effective.
At Daylight Specialists, we work closely with architects, building owners, and contractors to evaluate existing conditions, identify opportunities for improvement, and recommend daylighting strategies that align with your project goals. We develop retrofit plans that account for structural realities, ceiling constraints, and energy performance needs—ensuring upgrades deliver maximum impact with minimal complexity.
From product selection through final installation, we collaborate with your design team or general contractor to streamline coordination, reduce construction risk, and ensure your retrofit project is completed on time and on budget.
