What is National Daylight Appreciation Day?
On June 21st, the summer solstice (the longest day of daylight in the northern hemisphere) is celebrated each year and encourages people to enjoy the sun's many benefits.
In addition, the day gives you the opportunity to learn more about the importance of daylighting. To naturally light interior spaces, Daylighting is using skylights, windows, and other architectural openings. Doing so not only helps to reduce energy consumption but also has health benefits.
When natural light is present, certain areas of daylighting are designed with automatic dimming systems. These designs minimize the amount of artificial light needed. The process is known as daylight harvesting.
Daylight has positive psychological benefits, as well. In addition to raising energy levels, it can improve your mental stability and help reduce depression. Vitamin D, which we naturally get from the sun, also has numerous health benefits for us.
