Commercial Skylights
While St. Louis Skylights is the leader in residential daylighting, we have
also established an enviable track record in commercial skylight design and
installation. Our commercial projects include large shopping centers, hotels,
office buildings, warehouses, and schools.Our primary partner, Velux, has multiple solutions for daylighting the roofs of commercial buildings that provide optimal light distribution at the building's core while minimizing glare and enhancing your architectural designs.
We are also a provider of the Velux SUN TUNNELTM.
The US Green Building Council has created the LEED rating system, which is a tool 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, which meet Energy Star guidelines, can contribute to LEED credits in the following categories:
- Energy and Atmosphere - Optimization of Energy Performance (Energy Star)
- Materials and Resources - Products made in Greenwood, SC
- 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)
