75% of buildings today will still be in use by 2050. It is therefore crucial for building owners and operators to ensure their assets remain functional, practical and safe. This is where refurbished rooflighting offers an opportunity. By enhancing daylighting, ventilation and other aspects, real-world benefits can be achieved aesthetically, practically and financially.
To help building owners and operators maximise this opportunity, VELUX Commercial has developed a white paper detailing ‘Building Considerations for Rooflight Refurbishment’. The guide considers the entire journey through a rooflight refurbishment process when adapting an already existing building, highlighting key materials, regulations and building standards. The benefits of refurbishing with rooflights are also highlighted, with a particular focus on the structural benefits of daylighting, alongside other more broader and topical considerations. A number of project-specific designs across a variety of commercial applications are also explored, such as; Schools, Offices and Heritage buildings.
