I have a question. Currently building a new house. We have these three skylights that shoot down the central open stairwell.

We have a furnace for the upper level. A furnace for the main and basement.

We have hardwood floors which will need to be kept at a humidity level.

Here is where it gets interesting, is there something special we need in the system to keep water from freezing on the skylights and then melting when it warms up. I have heard this can be an issue and there is something that can be installed to prevent this.

With skylights, a lot of times they are single pane. We have Velux.
