Other surprising results indicated physical benefits from the exposure to vitamin D in natural lighting: better dental records (nine times less tooth decay), and increased growth (more than 3/4 inch in two years).

Daylit Schools Outperformed
Duro-Test Vita-Lite durotest vitalite
A study of five schools conducted in Canada by the Alberta Department of Education documented health benefits in children exposed to daylight.

Students who attended daylit schools outperformed students who were attending non-daylit schools by 5%-14%, depending on whether short- or long-term impacts were assessed

Full Spectrum Lighting Simulates Natural Day Light
A primary concern for teachers is how to improve the learning environment. Something as simple as climate control can mean the difference between a classroom that is conducive to learning and one that is not. A growing body of research links student achievement and behavior to the physical building conditions: good facilities appear to be an important precondition for student learning.

The largely daylit Durant Middle School in Raleigh, North Carolina, achieved the highest attendance rating of more than 100 schools in Wake County. Credit: UPVG In particular, daylight appears to have a measurable effect on performance. A study of five schools conducted in Canada by the Alberta Department of Education documented health benefits in children exposed to daylight. The study compared the health of elementary school children in rooms with natural, full-spectrum light to those in rooms with conventional lighting. The conclusion? Far from being neutral with respect to affecting children, light has significant non-visual effects.

The Canadian study revealed that exposure to full-spectrum light resulted in students with better attendance (3.5 fewer days of absence per year) and more positive moods, resulting in better scholastic performance. Other surprising results indicated physical benefits from the exposure to vitamin D in natural lighting: better dental records (nine times less tooth decay), and increased growth (more than 3/4 inch in two years).

Intrigued by the results of this study, the partners of the architectural firm Innovative Design in Raleigh, North Carolina, undertook a study of their own daylighting designs. They tracked groups of students in daylit and nondaylit schools through 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, using scores on California Achievement Tests on reading, language, and math that are given to every student in the county school system. They compared the relative percentage improvement of students in daylit schools to all the county's middle grades.

The results of this study demonstrated that although many variables can influence student performance, it appears that students clearly benefit from the learning environment provided in daylit schools. Students who attended daylit schools outperformed students who were attending non-daylit schools by 5%-14%, depending on whether short- or long-term impacts were assessed. The impact increases as students are exposed over time: the older students in 8th grade improved by 21% between 1992 and 1995, compared to a county average of 10%.
