At Yorkshire Roofing, we know that today’s businesses want solutions that are both eco-friendly and cost-effective. One of the most innovative energy-saving strategies gaining popularity across California is the Daylighting System — and we’re proud to be among the first roofing companies in the state to specialize in its design and installation.
By strategically integrating windows, skylights, reflective paints, solar tubes, and other architectural features, daylighting allows natural sunlight to illuminate interior spaces. The result? Enhanced comfort, lower energy costs, and a healthier, more productive environment for your team.
This isn’t just about cutting your electric bill — it’s about transforming the way your building works for you. And with Yorkshire Roofing’s expertise in premium roofing materials from trusted brands like GAF and Owens Corning, combined with our solar partnership with Maxeon Solar Technologies, you can be confident your daylighting solution is built for long-term performance.
Why Your Business Should Consider Daylighting
Some assume daylighting simply means installing bigger windows or higher ceilings. In reality, a successful system requires careful design, roof integration, and advanced materials to maximize natural light while controlling heat gain.
With decades of experience in commercial roofing and energy-efficient solutions, Yorkshire Roofing ensures your daylighting system is tailored to your building’s structure, climate, and usage patterns.
Benefits for People: Health, Comfort, and Productivity
Natural light doesn’t just brighten a room — it enhances human performance. Studies show that access to daylight improves mood, focus, and overall well-being. Here’s how daylighting through Yorkshire Roofing can transform your workspace:
Boosts Mood & Energy: Sunlight stimulates serotonin, making employees feel more alert and positive.
Reduces Eye Strain: Especially important for desk workers, natural light is gentler on the eyes than artificial lighting.
Enhances Focus & Performance: Comfortable, well-lit environments help employees concentrate and work more efficiently.
Lowers Stress: Exposure to daylight reduces cortisol levels and improves memory retention.
Supports Better Attendance: Healthier employees take fewer sick days.
Proven Results: A Sacramento Municipal Utility District study found people perform 10–25% better on memory and mental function tests in rooms with daylight and a view compared to those without.

Benefits for Your Bottom Line: Cost Efficiency & ROI
Daylighting is not just good for people — it’s great for business finances.
Cut Energy Costs by up to 40%: Less reliance on artificial lighting means smaller electricity bills.
Boost Sales & Productivity: Studies link natural light to increased sales figures and faster employee task completion.
Lower HVAC Expenses: Naturally lit rooms tend to stay cooler, reducing strain on heating and cooling systems.
Fewer Sick Days: Better health and morale reduce absenteeism.
Proven Performance: Research shows office workers perform 6–12% faster in daylight-rich environments.
When you combine daylighting with Yorkshire Roofing’s solar solutions using Maxeon Solar Panels, you maximize energy efficiency and sustainability.
