Natural light is one of the most important elements in interior construction, enhancing ambiance, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being. Proper planning ensures interiors are bright, welcoming, and functional.
Skylights
Skylights bring sunlight directly from above, providing even illumination and reducing the need for artificial lighting.
- Energy-efficient glazing to reduce heat gain
- Operable skylights for natural ventilation
- Placement strategies to avoid glare while maximizing daylight
Windows
Windows are key in balancing natural light and ventilation.
- Large, strategically placed windows for maximum daylight
- Double-glazed or tinted windows to manage heat and UV exposure
- Window treatments like blinds or curtains for light control
Reflective Surfaces
Reflective surfaces amplify natural light and create a sense of spaciousness.
- Light-colored walls and ceilings to reflect sunlight
- Mirrors strategically placed to bounce light into darker areas
- Glossy or semi-gloss finishes on floors and furniture for added reflection
Best Practices for Natural Light Optimization
- Combine skylights, windows, and reflective surfaces for balanced illumination.
- Consider the building’s orientation and local climate, especially in Kerala.
- Use light diffusers and shades to prevent glare and overheating.
- Integrate daylighting with artificial lighting controls for energy efficiency.
