The following 8 Documents are astounding in their simple presentation

of the benefits of daylighting

*Elementary kids doing better in English and Math?

*After the 25% reduction in absenteeism and the 13% increase in employee productivity were factored in, the initial 4-yr energy-savings payback was reduced to 69 DAYS??

*There's an inexpensive natural-light source to help with my S.A.D.?

You will be amazed as we all were by the tangible and often measureable effects of beautiful, natural light.

And here's an important question:  If all these benefits have been documented to occur in schools, hospitals and the workplace,

How awesome will it be installed in our own homes??!

Reading the paper (or cooking) in the kitchen, working on the computer in the office, playing with the kids in the family room; all these areas are quickly made more welcoming and comfortable as we go about our daily lives.
