That’s all I want to ask. It’s 2024, people. Shouldn’t all of our buildings have more skylights and windows at this point? Why am I still seeing buildings that have lights running during the day? Why are buildings still being built in ways where we need to rely on artificial light when the sun is shining?!? So much money and electricity could be saved.

    Not to mention cloudy days, or short days in winter, so the building would have to be fully wired for lights anyway. And dimmable for when they only need to supplement a cloudy day.

    Natural light is one of those things that seem super obvious, until you spend pretty much any time actually thinking about it.

    It’s not a thing because it doesn’t make sense to be a thing, not because no one thought of it.
