  1. Ensure good sleeping conditions - Good sleeping conditions require comfortable temperatures, 100% darkness, peace and quiet. When implemented, more than 50% feel they have more energy.
  2. Strive for comfortable temperatures - Comfortable indoor temperatures means a pleasant chill in the summer and a warm environment in the winter. 
  3. Let in fresh air - Fresh air is provided by windows and door openings. If a home is not aired out it doubles the risk of feeling tired and apathetic compared to 2 airings per day.
  4. Let in daylight - When daylight levels change from unsatisfactory to satisfactory, the amount of people feeling less energized drop from 37% to 21%.
  5. Avoid humidity - Avoid excessive humidity to reduce the risk of mold and fungus. Mold and fungus can lead to asthma and respiratory symptoms.

VELUX skylights and Sun Tunnel skylights allow abundant amounts of daylight and fresh air into a home. These two elements have been shown to promote and maintain a healthy home.
