Education
When it comes to education, environment has a significant bearing on student achievement and staff effectiveness. Exposure to natural light in classrooms benefits students mentally, physically and emotionally, enabling them to perform significantly better than students learning in artificially-lit environments.
Health and aged care
Healthcare studies have shown that exposure to natural light can decrease patients’ length of stay in hospitals, reduce depression, improve sleep and wake cycles, assist with care of dementia patients, improve adjustment to night shift work among staff, and much more.
Residential
Natural daylight brings rooms to life. While bringing the function and beauty of natural light, daylight also improves a building occupants' health and well being creating a healthy living environment for all occupants.
