The US Green Building Council, in an effort to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work, has created the LEED rating system. LEED is one of the tools used to develop design guidelines, policy positions and industry standards for the promotion of sustainable designs for commercial buildings. Because they provide natural lighting, skylights are by nature a good element for a sustainable design. VELUX skylights can contribute to LEED credits in any commercial design.

• Energy and atmosphere — optimization of energy performance (ENERGY STAR).
• Materials and resources.
• Indoor environmental quality — controllability of systems (electric skylights and blinds).
• Indoor environmental quality — daylight and views (75% of daylit space requirement and outdoor view from 90% of the space).

Artificial lighting is one of the largest sources of energy consumption in commercial and industrial applications. Utilizing the high visible light transmittance provided by VELUX commercial skylights have been shown to significantly reduce these energy costs through the benefits of daylighting.

This is an environmental management model written to provide organizations with the elements of an effective environmental management system. As a result, VELUX maintains and supports each of the following:

Natural light has a variety of consumer health benefits. Studies suggest:

• Natural Light can boost energy up to 24 percent.
• Falls among the elderly are less likely to happen in well-lit areas. Falls are the leading cause of accidental death in the elderly population.
• Proper lighting helps to keep our circadian rhythm (internal clock) on schedule. Sleep disorders caused by circadian rhythm imbalance can cause medical problems.
• Students in well-lit classrooms show signs of growing faster, better attendance.
• Students also do better in school when learning in a well-lit environment; 26% better in reading, one study confirms.
• Workers have shown decreased absenteeism and improved productivity.
• Skylights have been shown to increase retail sales by as much as 40%.
