Skylights – light-permitting structure or window on the roof of the warehouse used for lighting and ventilation

Skylights are light transmitting windows located on the roof of a warehouse or other building that are used for lighting and sometimes ventilation of the interior. These elements are used in architecture to bring daylight directly into a space, which can contribute significantly to energy savings by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Benefits of skylights in warehouses:

  • Natural lighting: skylights provide abundant daylight, improving visibility and creating a more pleasant working environment for employees.
  • Energy savings: by making better use of daylight, buildings can reduce the energy needed for lighting, leading to lower operating costs.
  • Ventilation: some types of skylights can be designed to open and allow ventilation, which helps regulate the temperature inside the building and provides fresh air.
  • Improving the working environment: Studies show that natural lighting has a positive effect on employee health and productivity, which can lead to lower absenteeism and higher job satisfaction.

Skylights find application not only in warehouses, but also in many other types of buildings such as production halls, shopping malls, office buildings and even residential buildings. Their design and placement should be carefully planned to maximise the potential of natural lighting, while at the same time minimising potential negative impacts such as excessive heating of the space during the summer months.
