Rooflights will not only make your home more attractive and valuable, they will not only expand your interior décor possibilities, they will also produce a variety of environmental benefits that will help bring your home in line with 21st-century eco-imperatives. In this post, the team at Skylights Rooflight take a close look at the environmental benefits of rooflights.

The Environmental Benefits of Rooflights Explained

Rooflights produce a wide array of benefits from the practical to the aesthetic. They are also capable of producing a variety of environmental benefits, including:

Reduced energy consumption

As we've said, rooflights provide a variety of benefits, but maybe none is as important as their ability to reduce your home's energy consumption. By flooding formerly dingy spaces with natural light all day long, rooflights enable homeowners to turn off the electric lights. This benefit is particularly important during the long winter months when many homeowners are forced to keep the lights running all day long. Less dependence on electric lights means lower energy consumption and lower energy bills.

A smaller carbon footprint

The UK has set an ambitious goal for the nation to become carbon neutral by 2050. Whether that goal is attainable is open to debate, but there is no doubt it is a goal worth pursuing. By reducing your home's energy consumption, you will be able to reduce its carbon footprint. While the reduction in your carbon footprint may be modest, it will be an important step in the right direction.

A better Energy Performance Certificate rating

If you plan to sell or rent your home, you will need to obtain an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which rates your home on a scale from A to G, with A being the most energy efficient. You must have this document to show potential buyers or renters. By installing rooflights and reducing the energy consumption of your home, you are likely to obtain a better EPC rating than you otherwise would and will likely be able to sell or rent the property quicker and for a better price.
