ENERGY
SAVING:
>Artificial lighting = 25 percent of the electric energy
>"efficient daylight = energy saving (by 30-60% )"
(Source)"SKY LIGHTING AND RETAIL SALES-An Investigation into the Relation Between Daylighting and Human Performance", conducted by Pacific Gas and Electric demonstrates.
PRODUCTIVITY:
>Students exposed to full spectrum light will : learn faster, test higher.
(source)"A Study into the Effects of Types of Light on Children - A Case of Daylight" by Robbery Warren E. Hathaway, PhD
>student's performances at tests are significantly bettered (10-20%), and the sales are increased with an average of 40% when working in spaces exposed to daylight.
