Grants for Daylighting Systems – Get the Right Advice

Daylighting systems such as skylights, flat roof windows, and continuous rooflights are key components of the building envelope. Energy efficiency improvements are achieved primarily by replacing older continuous rooflights with poor U-values. In this case, our modern systems significantly increase energy efficiency. They also enhance the quality of the indoor environment. When new daylight openings are created in existing buildings, the focus is on the benefits of additional natural daylight and the resulting comfort for the people inside the building. Attractive subsidy programs are available for new construction and renovation projects—we’ll show you which options are right for your project and how you can benefit from government grants.
