Maximizing natural light in industrial buildings offers several operational benefits. Good daylight supply increases comfort, health, and productivity of employees. Another focus is on the safety of the building and its users. Whether it’s a warehouse or a production hall – VELUX Commercial can help you choose the safest solution.
Equip innovative skylight solutions with additional accessories. By using smoke and heat exhaust systems, risks in the event of a fire are reduced. Comfort ventilation systems ensure fresh air and optimized indoor air quality by removing pollutants, toxins, and odors from work environments. Sun protection systems and fall-through protection additionally contribute to comfort and safety in the building.
Requirements for Illuminance and Brightness
The type of use influences the requirements for daylight supply. The daylight standard EN 17037 regulates which illuminance levels must be achieved and applies to all rooms where users stay for extended periods – including industrial buildings.
Poor lighting can lead to an increase in workplace accidents. This is especially true for production departments where heavy machinery is used. Accidents not only endanger workers but also have financial consequences. Liability claims and repair costs can lead to loss of earnings.

The use of the premises influences the requirements for skylight systems: resistance to chemicals, lubricants, and acids, as well as the use of insect screens for hygiene reasons, may be important. Another key factor contributing to building safety is smoke and heat exhaust.
