Discover how daylighting strategies can elevate building performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Explore resources that highlight the benefits of high performance prismatic daylighting and code compliant design practices tailored for commercial and manufacturing environments. These guides will help you unlock energy savings, improve occupant well being, and make informed decisions for integrating natural lighting in your building projects.
Sunoptics
The Sunoptics brochure highlights their high performance prismatic skylights designed to maximize natural daylighting, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing reliance on electric lighting. These skylights feature patented prismatic optics that provide uniform, glare free illumination, contributing to improved building sustainability and occupant well being.
Codes and Regulations
The "Daylighting Codes and Standards" document from Logistics Lighting outlines key regulations and guidelines for integrating daylighting solutions in building design. It references various codes such as ASHRAE 90.1, California Title 24, and LEED, emphasizing requirements for daylight harvesting, skylight fenestration, and automatic daylighting controls to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Manufacturing Illuminated
The Sunoptics Industrial Brochure focuses on high performance prismatic skylights designed to enhance natural lighting in industrial environments, improving energy efficiency and reducing reliance on artificial lighting. These skylights feature patented dome construction for optimal light capture, uniform diffusion, and glare free illumination, contributing to a more sustainable and productive workspace.
Commercial Building Toplighting
The TIAX report, commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, evaluates the energy saving potential of toplighting systems—skylights combined with electric lighting controls—in commercial buildings across various U.S. climates. It concludes that such systems can significantly reduce energy consumption by decreasing reliance on artificial lighting, thereby enhancing building energy efficiency
