Daylighting Extra 3/10

-Colin suggests using natural light from the exterior to light interior spaces. Incorporating day lit areas is a growing trend in the construction sector. Upstairs in my house, we are blessed to have three roof windows  that let in a lot of natural light. In the winter time, we make sure to leave the shades open; allowing the sun to assist the heat pump is warming the house. In the summertime though, we make sure to keep the shades closed so the air conditioner won't have to work so hard; saving electricity and money.
