Rooflights

The replacement of existing rooflights or the incorporation of new rooflights can result in a significant increase in natural daylight which in turn can result in a considerable decrease in lighting costs. New research proves conclusively that rooflights can save energy in many applications. A well designed building with a good spread of natural light will benefit from passive solar gain and a reduced requirement for artificial light. The combination of these factors means that including rooflights can offer a dramatic reduction in a building’s total energy consumption and the emissions of CO2 associated with this energy use. A naturally lit interior will save money, provide a more pleasant environment people want to spend time in and contribute to our joint goal to reduce emissions of CO2.

As well as enhancing your work environment and reducing energy costs old rooflights are often found to be a major cause of water ingress.

Advanced Roofing Services operates as an independent from all UK rooflight manufacturers. Our surveyors are therefore able to offer sound and impartial advice on the most suitable roof lighting systems to provide compliance with the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document L2. This requires increased energy efficiency for all buildings. It recognises the need for daylight, whilst requiring a balance between heat loss from rooflights and the solar heat gain. It should be noted that artificial lighting can be responsible for up to 50% of energy consumption in a building without rooflights.

Advanced Roofing Services are able to offer many innovative solutions for your requirement for natural light.
