Benefits of Natural Daylight
Natural daylight has been proven to have a positive impact on vision, orientation, productivity, alertness and general health and it has been shown to influence social behaviour and cognitive performance.
Exposure to natural daylight at the right time helps us to regulate our circadian rhythms or body clock, which is governed by the Blue spectrum of light. This allows us to be more productive during the day, which is why rooflights and roof windows are commonly installed in commercial settings, and sleep better at night.
Improving Productivity
In a poorly lit room a lack of Blue daylight allows the build up of Melatonin in the blood stream, which is a naturally occurring chemical within the body causing drowsiness and is natures way of preparing us for sleep as darkness begins to fall.
Research has shown that naturally occurring Blue light inhibits the secretion of Melatonin, the problem is that most artificial lighting solutions produce only Red/Orange or Green/Yellow light which does not have the same effect, so in poorly or artificially lit rooms one can often feel more sleepy and less productive.
Incorporating rooflights and roof windows will help to limit the release of Melatonin, allowing you to feel more awake and productive.
Rooflights for Maximum Natural Daylight
Glazing Vision manufactures glass rooflights with minimum internal framework to allow for maximum natural daylight penetration.
