Education Facilities - Daylighting Benefits + Solutions
Kingspan Light + Air’s Education Facilities Daylighting Benefits + Solutions eGuide examines the impact natural light has on education focused spaces, including on students, faculty, and the bottom line. The eGuide takes you through several benefits, highlights some unique projects that maximize the potential of their daylighting systems, and looks at some options for retrofit applications.
- Natural light has been shown to help keep students be more alert and capable of absorbing new information
- Students with the most daylighting in their classrooms progressed 20% faster on math tests and 26% faster on reading tests in one year than those with the least amount of daylighting
- Daylighting systems can add versatility and functionality to your design – with translucent canopies that can turn otherwise unused exterior spaces into multi-use learning
areas, and tubular daylighting devices that provide access to natural light for hard to reach internal always and classrooms
