The Positive ROI of Daylighting
In today’s volatile economy, it’s critical for developers to make their buildings stand out to attract tenants. Daylighting is an effective way to differentiate your building by providing health benefits for your tenants – while also adding value to the building itself.
Higher Market Value
Buildings that incorporate healthy elements – like daylighting – typically see an increase of 7% or more in a building’s value. Daylighting is an easy way to future-proof your building and provide a return on investment when the time comes to sell the property.
Easier to Lease
In a market where short-term leases are the new norm, features that attract tenants and entice them to stay long-term is critical. 46% of owners found that buildings are easier to lease when they include design elements that improve occupant health.
Command Higher Rent
In addition to being easier to lease, developers find that their buildings command higher rents. Tenants are willing to pay 6% more for a space with abundant natural light.
While daylighting may seem like an unnecessary initial building cost, eliminating it from a design will have long-term effects on the ROI of the property. Kingspan Light + Air provides daylighting solutions to meet the needs of any building – and our experienced team will work with you to provide the right solutions for your building’s needs.
