Increasing natural daylighting in buildings, as part of an architectural design, is becoming more popular. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of introducing natural daylight into interior spaces, people thrive in natural daylight making them happier, healthier and more productive. School studies have shown a direct correlation between reduced absenteeism and increased test scores in schools that have skylights in classrooms.

With the adoption of Green Building and LEED points, more and more designers are utilizing skylights as an avenue to bring natural daylighting into interior spaces. The NanoStar™ Skylight, one of the highest performing unit skylights on the market today, helps achieve LEED points and meet the latest Energy Code requirements.
