Kingspan Light + Air: Daylighting as a Strategic Investment in Building Value

January 23, 2026

In a competitive and economically uncertain real estate market, developers and building owners are increasingly focused on design strategies that enhance both occupant well-being and long-term asset performance. Daylighting has emerged as a proven approach that delivers measurable financial and operational benefits, while contributing to healthier indoor environments.

Daylighting and Property Value

Buildings that integrate health-focused design elements, such as access to natural daylight, consistently demonstrate stronger market performance. Studies indicate that properties incorporating daylighting strategies can experience an increase in overall value of 7% or more. By prioritizing natural light, developers can help future-proof their assets and strengthen resale potential.

Improved Leaseability

As leasing trends continue to shift toward shorter-term agreements, design features that attract and retain tenants have become essential. Nearly half of building owners report that properties are easier to lease when they include elements that support occupant health. Daylighting plays a central role in creating appealing, comfortable spaces that encourage longer tenancy.

Increased Rental Potential

Beyond faster leasing, daylight-rich environments also support higher rental rates. Research shows that tenants are willing to pay up to 6% more for spaces with abundant natural light. This premium reflects growing awareness of the connection between daylight, comfort, and productivity.

Long-Term Return on Investment

Although daylighting systems may represent an additional upfront cost, excluding them from a building design can limit long-term financial performance. When evaluated over the lifecycle of a property, daylighting contributes to higher rents, improved occupancy rates, and increased asset value.

Kingspan Light + Air US offers a broad portfolio of daylighting solutions designed to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of a wide range of building types. With extensive experience in daylighting design and implementation, the company supports project teams in selecting solutions that align with performance goals and architectural intent.
