Daylighting Design for Retail + Hospitality Spaces
Natural light can make retail and hospitality spaces feel more open and inviting, and studies have shown that consumers spend more time and money in daylit spaces. Increased sales - plus energy use savings - make a compelling argument for adding skylights or translucent wall systems to your next project.
Customers Respond to Natural Light
Growing evidence shows that natural daylighting can have a large impact on sales in retail settings, as well as a positive effect on worker satisfaction and attendance.
A study done by the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program and the Heschong Mahone Group, “Daylighting and Retail Sales,” evaluated daylighting in a variety of retail settings in California. It found that sales in stores utilizing daylighting were in some cases 40% higher than in non-daylit stores (Daylighting and Retail Sales, October 2003). It also found that “The value of the energy savings from the daylighting is far overshadowed by the value of the predicted increase in sales due to daylighting. By the most conservative estimate, the profit from increased sales associated with daylight is worth at least 19 times more than the energy savings, and more likely, may be worth 45-100 times more than the energy savings” (Daylighting and Retail Sales, Heschong Mahone Group).
Employees also reported slightly higher satisfaction with the lighting quality conditions overall than those in non-daylit stores, and perceived the daylit stores to have more uniform lighting.

Retail Space Design
Enhance the Sales Floor
Natural light has been shown to improve people’s moods, as well as their buying habits (see opposite side of sheet for details). Kingspan Light + Air offers a wide variety of daylighting systems that allow for numerous design possibilities, as well as flexibility with light control and ventilation. Energy savings can also be substantial when daylighting a large area, significantly reducing the need for energy-hungry artificial lighting during peak use hours.

Design Vibrant Dining Areas
Daylighting systems can be beneficial in reducing energy use and reducing electric lighting needs, but they can also infuse a sense of drama and aesthetic appeal. KlearSky™ glass skylights, which provide views of the sky and surrounding environment, can be a great way to create eye-catching centerpiece that helps to define a space.
