How many times have you walked into a building from the sunlight and been depressed? Does it seem like the fluorescent lighting in your office saps you of your will to work? Now Corporate Energy has developed the perfect solution - Daylighting!

Daylighting is the method of lighting a building's interior with full-spectrum, natural sunlight which supplements or replaces electric lighting during the daytime. The addition of daylight in a space not only impacts building aesthetics, but improves the workplace environment as well.

A Daylighting system can be deceptive at first. Though it looks like an ordinary light fixture, its only light source is the sun. The design incorporates dead air spaces, which act as thermal barriers thereby decreasing heat loss/gain associated with ordinary skylights. The bottom lens produces an evenly distributed diffuse light, not a glaring "hot spot" like ordinary skylights. It also has a positive effect on employee morale, since natural sunlight is psychologically more pleasant to work under.

Whether the application is large or small, Daylighting can be a very cost-effective alternative to expensive lighting fixtures that require regular maintenance. It has been especially effective in the Amish communities, which are typically not connected to power lines. Take advantage of the sunlight and dramatically reduce utility costs.

Retail Store
BB's Grocery in Quarryville, PA is a 60,000 sq. foot Amish combined retail, warehouse, and production facility. No electric lighting is used in this building. As a matter of fact, on sunny days BB's Grocery is experiencing foot candle readings between 100 and 200 footcandles in the retail and production areas and between 25 and 75 footcandles in the warehouse area. Corporate Energy also recently installed Daylighting in Miller's Bakery & Furniture in West Union, OH and at the D&J Farm Store in Quarryville, PA. The owners of all three establishments are extremely pleased with the light levels that Daylighting alone can provide.

Factory
In a production environment, it is essential not to distort color perception. Daylighting is the perfect solution because it provides true full spectrum natural light. Since it utilizes the sun's natural light, no artificial light source can match the color rendition of a Daylighting unit (100 CRI). Corporate Energy has helped many other area factories, including Quality Fencing in New Holland, PA and Black Rock Repair of Kirkwood, PA, improve their lighting conditions and save money by installing Daylighting units.
