"Rooms filled with natural light and fresh air are invariably more beautiful, spacious and uplifting to your spirits. Daylight is the essential element that transforms conventional rooms into splendid spaces that add value and quality to your home and your life. And then there's the breeze. VELUX skylights, SUN TUNNEL™ skylights and roof windows let you bring the best of the outdoors inside with you." - Velux America Homeowners, building managers, and municipalities are becoming increasingly sensitive to energy use and subsequent costs that continue to rise, and are demanding more and more efficiency from the products they select. Favorable Federal tax incentives have even been created to reinforce the importance of choosing products that are more efficient.

Daylight is free, reducing your potential energy costs and the negative impact of power plant emissions on our environment. You can lower your energy costs additionally by selecting any of our venting products, which can reduce the need for air conditioning and/or fans during certain times of the day and year depending on your region. Do you have an existing acrylic skylight that needs to be replaced? Replace your plastic skylight with an ENERGY STAR® approved FCM™ skylight that has tempered and airtight glass and is specially formulated with a Low-E3 glass coating for protection against heat gain and fading.

All standard VELUX residential skylights have National Fenestration Rating Council® (NFRC) ratings that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines in all climate zones in the U.S., and can be a source for credits in the energy category of most national green programs. VELUX was even selected as ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year in 2002.
