Commercial Skylights and Installation
VELUX Headquarters
There is a dramatic difference in the quality of light from the fluorescent lighting (photo left) installed, and the upgrade to VELUX SUN TUNNEL Skylights (photo right) in the VELUX U.S. Headquarters.

The daylighting components added to the initial cost of the building. However, because of cooling and lighting load reductions, the net initial cost was only $115,000 or less than 1% of the total construction project. The daylighting and energy efficiency measures saved $77,000 the first year of operations.
Using the Highest Quality Products; Installed by the Best
In many commercial buildings, drop ceilings are used to save space for services (eg. cables, recessed lighting, and piping), to reduce the cost of heating in a room, to improve the acoustics, or to produce more aesthetically pleasing proportions. VELUX understands this and has designed a skylight that will work with suspended ceilings to bring daylight into the room.
VELUX structural skylight roof monitors are high-end architectural skylights for roof openings up to 12' in span and 22' in length. These monitors have a short installation time (estimated 5 hours for 8' x 22' skylight). The modular components allow for easy assembly. There is limited on-site glazing required (only gable ends). The roofer provides the base curb. Using this monitor does allow the use of VELUX blinds and controls. Ventilation options are also available for this type of monitor.
