AGS Light Shelves
AGS’s architectural light shelves are designed to help reduce the need for artificial lighting in buildings. This horizontal shelf is a high-functioning architectural element containing a highly reflective surface used to refract daylight onto the ceiling of a building’s interior, allowing it to penetrate deep within the building. Due to their overhang, light shelves conversely provide shading near windows, thereby reducing window glare. This reduction in both glare and heat retention leads to more productive energy use and earns LEED points toward your energy-efficient building construction.
Functions:
• Distributes natural light to inner core of building
• Reduces brightness and glare
• Limits heat accumulation
• Re-directs and deflects sunlight
• Maximizes day lighting and views
• Serves as a shading device
• Potentially contributes points to USGBA LEED projects
• Increases energy efficiency
