Light
Saving electricity is very important, a really good way to save energy is using natural lighting. In this section we will talk about skylights and solar tubes.
Solar Tubes
These solar-harvesting ducts are tubular skylights with super-reflective mirror interiors that capture maximum sunlight and fill the interior of your home with natural light.
Skylight
Natural lightning
-
The biggest benefit of skylights is how they let natural light into your space. And with that light comes solar heat.
saving money
-
Sunlight can heat up your spaces and cross ventilation can cool them down. That can help you reduce your energy costs.
Add space
-
Similar to adding mirrors on the walls, skylights can make a room “feel bigger” and more spacious. Plus, you can get a view of night sky or nature during the day.
Solar Tubes
Positive points
-
Doesn´t need to be cleaned nor maintained
-
Filters the radiation and does not transmit any of the heat
HOW DOES IT WORK?
-
Sunlight is concentrated on the UV-filtered polycarbonate dome that is positioned over the reflective tube.
-
The reflective tube -which can be several meters long- guides the light into the building.
-
The light is dispersed throughout the chosen room, illuminating the environment with comfortable natural light.
-
Due to their small cross-sectional area, they can reduce absolute heat loss and gain when compared to conventional skylights.
