Stupid question: why dont they use at least some transparent panels on top of the buildings to let in light during the daytime? Right now i'm seeing huge, dark halls who are illuminated by rows and rows of artificial light (probably making up a large portion of their power bill), while the sun is providing free, natural light outside most of the business hours.
Quite a few large buildings will do that, every third or fourth roof piece will be transparent to act as a skylight. I don't know why some don't do it, perhaps the transparent pieces don't last as long?
