Sunny savings

The new factory will let the sun shine in through skylights and rooftop 'monitors'. The monitors use special glass to minimise the Sun's glare and stop heat escaping.

Solar power panels will harness the Sun's energy, heating up the water that workers use to wash their hands.

Heating and lighting bills are reduced, and the workers are in a sunny mood thanks to the natural light.
