When is National Daylight Appreciation Day?
Wednesday June 21stOn June 21st, the summer solstice (the longest day of daylight in the northern hemisphere) is celebrated each year, and it encourages people to celebrate the sun's many benefits.
In addition, the day provides an opportunity to learn more about the importance of daylighting. Daylighting is used to naturally light interior spaces by using skylights, windows, and other architectural openings. Doing so not only helps to minimize energy use, but also has health benefits.
Automatic dimming systems are installed in certain areas of daylighting when natural light is present. These designs reduce the amount of artificial light needed. The process is also known as daylight harvesting.
Daylight has positive psychological benefits, as well. It can improve your mental stability and reduce depression, as well as increasing energy levels. The Vitamin D we naturally get from the sun also has numerous health benefits for us.
