ALL ABOUT DAYLIGHTING PART 1: ITS CONCEPT AND BENEFITS

Sunlight can provide a variety of benefits. Many people, however, choose to spend majority of their time indoors. This is why Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis recommends installing windows in your home that optimize daylighting.

Daylighting Part 1 Concept Benefits

Daylighting is the process of making the most of the natural light coming into your homes. It can lessen your reliance on artificial lighting for more energy savings. Besides being cost-efficient, it also provides many aesthetic and health benefits.

In this first installment of our two-part blog, your trusted Chesterfield, Missouri, windows company discusses in detail the benefits of daylighting.

Promotes Energy Conservation and Efficiency

At least 20% of your home’s energy consumption comes from electric lighting. Since lights discharge heat, reducing their consumption can lessen the workload of your air-conditioning system. By implementing a daylighting strategy, you can save on energy costs, while increasing indoor comfort for your family.

To make the most of sunlight properly, have us install our replacement windows in Chesterfield, MO. They come st andard with our innovative Fibrex® frame material, which has inherent superior insulating properties. We combine it with our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass that can block the sun’s harmful UV rays. This can optimize natural light into your home, without you worrying about sunburn or furniture damage.

Daylighting can also help conserve environmental resources. While power plants burn coal to produce electricity, the widespread use of daylighting can conserve fossil fuels. This can also reduce greenhouse gases and pollution.

Enhances Aesthetic Appeal and Overall Value of Your Home

Daylighting can be most effective when properly incorporated into the overall design of your home. This can make your home’s interior brighter and warmer. The glass panes of our Chesterfield doors and windows can let in natural daylight, provide adequate ventilation, and give you an unobstructed view of your outdoor scenery.

Improves Health and Productivity

Studies show that day-lit environments provide mental and visual stimulation. Natural light also contains substantial amount of short-wavelength light rays, which support your circadian sleep-wake cycle. It can also increase serotonin production, which reduces stress and promotes a greater sense of well-being. It helps in the production of Vitamin D in your body, as well.

"Renewal was fantastic! They kept you in the loop from ordering to installation. They informed you at every step of the process of what was happening. The installers were kind, courteous, and professional. Everything was cleaned up after the installation. It was as if they hadn't been there except to see your beautiful new windows. I highly recommend them."

"3rd time using RBA for window replacement. Again, a very positive experience, the windows are great, the installation was done right, the professionalism was apparent from start to finish. Still have existing windows to be replaced and will definitely use RBA again to do it in the future."

"Renewal by Andersen was a good experience for us in replacement of our windows. From the initial meeting with the sales representative, Leslie, through the waiting period for manufacturing, and then to the installment process, our experience was excellent! Communication is key for me and we were kept informed and updated as our windows were being ordered and manufactured. Calls to update us on the installation process were welcomed and appreciated. They know how much is too much so they don't pester you with unnecessary contact. We love our new windows!!! Did I say that already??😂 We can tell a major difference in reduced Street noise and also the temperature at our windows. Excellent company, highly recommend!!"
