Overhead glass, whether flat or curved, has many positive benefits for people inside buildings. Rather than depend on electric lights to illuminate the interior areas of buildings, skylights and other forms of overhead glazing, enable natural light to enter the building to perform the same function.
Natural Light Benefits
Studies have shown that natural light increases retail sales in shopping malls, improves student performance in schools, and reduces absenteeism in offices. According to author and architect, Lisa Heschong, daylight is essential for human health and well-being. She expands on the importance of daylighting in her 2021 book, Visual Delight in Architecture Daylight Vision and View.
