I know about the filters because I’m friends with the custodian, but I don’t know if everyone else knows. It would make them feel like I feel—a little bit safer.
I think that the construction of the Velux skylights I specified in properties are just phenomenal. Just a beautiful piece of engineering. They're beautifully made… very thoughtful.
We absolutely love the Velux skylights in our artisan house. You can get really nice cross ventilation. You open up those skylights and it brings a gentle breeze right in that flows through the space.
Skylights are not that expensive. It’s a really nice way to add some additional natural light if someone’s interested in feeling more outdoor-indoor.

We should all have inverter-driven variable speed technology systems because we’d save energy and operating cost, be more comfortable, and reduce our carbon footprint. There’s really no downside.
The school facilities division is implementing a strategic approach to help maintain the health and safety of all building occupants.
Natural interior daylight offers a multitude of benefits beyond energy savings. It is the highest quality light source available for interior environments, it is flicker-free and it provides excellent color rendering and color balance. And natural interior daylight is one of the fastest greenhouse gas reducing paybacks you can buy, because it shrinks both energy bills and re-lamping maintenance costs. The fact is, introducing daylight into buildings provides energy savings, excellent lighting quality and more beautiful interior spaces.
Lighting accounts for roughly one third of electricity used by commercial or educational facilities in the United States. Whereas natural interior daylight requires no energy beyond sunlight. And Natural interior daylight is about 10-times more efficient then rooftop PV cells for lighting a room.

Especially in learning environments, skylit classrooms provide a natural and stimulating space for teacher and student. While studies show that poor lighting adversely affects learning, daylighting has been proven to increase student performance in math and reading scores, as well as improving attendance. t button to change this text.

Studies show that office workers have few sick days. The human performance numbers in daylighting systems are important because the ROI for daylighting installations can sometimes be a difficult sell. In fact, the human performance gains can outweigh the energy savings, where human performance can be measured in financial terms.
"You wouldn’t believe it, how much daylight it makes inside the building. I mean it’s phenomenal." -- Keith Bonn, Facilities Coordinator, Delta Gear.
"The Cloud Commuter is highly skilled, eco-friendly, doesn't take up valuable office space and won't be asking for health benefits.
