Classroom Daylighting

Recent research strongly suggests that well daylit spaces in schools enhance the learning environment as reflected in improvements in students’ classroom performance and in scores on standardized tests. The improved learning expected to result from the introduction of high-quality daylight into schools should similarly have high value for students, teachers, and parents. Unlike mere windows and common skylights, Sunflower’s system controls direct beam sunlight to avoid glare, using the ceiling itself to diffuse natural light onto the surfaces below. The result is an inviting, virtually shadow-free environment that is conducive to excellent vision throughout the space.
