Daylighting
New South Systems can help you use daylighting in your facility to greatly reduce your annual lighting expenses. “Daylighting” is the term used when natural light is brought into a space in conjunction with lighting controls. Since approximately 40% of a commercial building’s annual costs are due to lighting expenses, the payback for this investment is great.
In addition to cutting costs, there are many benefits to filling a building with natural light verses artificial light.
Some of these include:
- Reduced greenhouse gases and the pollution of air and water
- Replace up to 80% of electrical lighting during the day when it is light out
- Daylighting is cooler than electrical lighting, reducing cooling costs during the summer
- Studies show that daylight increases productivity and reduces human error
