BENEFITS OF NATURAL LIGHT
July 4, 2018

“Light is the most important synchronizing agent for the brain and body”.Natural light seems to bring out the beauty and indeed colour of everything it touches. When it fills our buildings, it brings with it a sense of freshness, vitality and even makes us healthier. Let’s see the benefits of natural lighting.

Better Performance

Employees working in natural light recorded higher levels of energy and productivity than those working under artificial light. There is value in being more strategic about sharing daylight amenity in the workplace. Not only, for the performance benefits but also for the health and well being of all staff.

Daylight and Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythms are biological, mental and behavioural changes that follow a 24-hour cycle and respond to light and darkness within an organism’s environment. Light is the main cue influencing circadian rhythms. Exposure to light turns the genes that control an organism’s internal clocks on and off Circadian rhythms dictate: sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, body temperature and other important bodily functions.

Why daylight matters?

1. Reduces stress and increases productivity and alertness
2. Workers overwhelmingly prefer working near windows
3. Natural light provides variety and stimulation during the day
4. Tapping natural light as a resource reduces energy use

Exposure to daylight has direct physical and mental health benefits. The human body uses sunlight to prevent disease, regulate sleep and to provide mental awareness of the time in a day. Natural sunlight will make your residence feel healthier, safer and more comfortable.
