What is Daylighting?

The term daylighting refers to the use of skylights and windows to bring sunlight into your home. Advances in glass technology allow current windows and skylights to maximize the amount of natural light they allow into your home while minimizing solar heat. This lets you enjoy the many benefits of increased sunlight without having to worry about decreased comfort or increased energy bills. During our initial consultation, we can help you develop a daylighting plan for your replacement windows.

What are the Benefits of Sunlight?

The most obvious effect of increased natural light in your home will be your reduced dependence on artificial light. With proper window placement and high-quality windows, your home can have a bright, sunlit interior throughout the year. Turning off your electrical lights for most of the day can save money on your energy bills. As a home performance expert, we also recommend daylighting because studies have shown that sunlight can improve productivity, mood and creativity.

How can I Bring Sunlight Into My Home?

Apart from using our replacement windows, you can also try other daylighting strategies. Consider using mirrors to reflect sunlight around a room. A well-placed mirror can reflect sunlight to corners it normally doesn’t reach. When getting replacement windows, consider going grille-less. We also suggest using window types with large glass areas such as picture windows, bow windows, bay windows and the like.

Our energy assessment service can analyze your home and determine the best products and energy strategies for your specific needs. We can determine if your home needs new replacement windows, insulation, doors or any other improvement for optimum energy efficiency. We serve many areas in CA, including Sacramento and Rancho Cordova. Call us at (916) 239-7779 to learn more about our services and products. You can also schedule a free consultation.
