Daylighting Studies
At Powers Products, we help architects bring natural light to life through specialized daylighting studies.
What’s A Daylighting Study?
A model that helps us understand how sunlight interacts with your building—tracking light levels, angles, and shadows throughout the day and seasons.
How Does it help?
The study helps optimize glazing, skylight placement, and shading strategies for comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics.
What are the results?
A daylighting study helps us install the optimal equipment for your space. Meaning brighter, healthier interiors that meet code requirements, support sustainability goals, and elevate the occupant experience.
PERFECT DAYLIGHTING SOLUTIONS CUSTOMIZED FOR EACH PROJECT
If you’re fortunate enough to live in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, or West Texas, you can enjoy over 300 days of sunshine each year. At Powers Products, we focus on helping clients maximize these sunny environments by forming exclusive distribution partnerships with some of the best daylighting products in the industry. Our partners include Kalwall, Structures Unlimited, Solatube, and others, including BEMO-Lightspan ETFE (Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene) foil systems, which are often used as lightweight, translucent alternatives to glass for large spans. All of our offerings are supported by our expert daylighting consultants and highly skilled installation technicians.
More than just a distributor, the daylighting consultants at Powers Products recognize the value of daylighting and conduct daylighting studies to help designers effectively harness sunlight to enhance their projects. Our daylighting solutions provide unmatched versatility and can contribute to reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, improved student performance, faster recovery times, and higher retail sales, among other benefits. The Powers Products team of consultants will assist you in selecting the right system based on your specific needs, budget, and other important factors, such as light transmittance, energy efficiency, and LEED objectives.
