light into
what was a darkened hallway

Installing a natural
day light tubular system is an ideal way to brighten up dark or dimly-lit
internal rooms during the day without the need to switch lights on.
Daylight is a free
natural resource and it makes plays a significant contribution to sustainable
building design.
Popular natural
daylight systems available:
Sun Tubes, with their
highly reflective internal mirrored surface,
channel sunlight from outside a building via tubing into internal living and
work spaces such as dimly lit hallways, dull kitchens, dark bathrooms, or drab
office spaces ... anywhere which would otherwise need the lights to be turned
on during the day.
Easy to install and
without the need for costly redecoration post installation, the natural tubular
day lighting systems are ideal for renovation and conversion projects as they
can be easily retrofit. Various lengths and diameters of tube are available dependent
on the distance the sun’s rays need to travel from outside – in, and the amount
of light required for any given space – the larger the tube, the more light can
be reflected into these spaces.
Benefits of installing
Tubular Natural Day Light Systems
- Significant savings can be made from
integrating these technologies into buildings. Electricity bills can be
slashed as lights no longer need to be switched on.
- The lower the electricity bill, the
greater the financial savings.
- There are no running costs
- Once installed, the natural day lighting
sun pipe requires no maintenance
- People working in environments with
installed natural day light systems perform better, have less time off
sick and work more efficiently.
Incorporation of day
lighting tubes with Natural Ventilation Systems such as
the ABS SUNCATCHER incorporates
the SUNPIPE and natural ventilation into one compact, energy-free system. TheSolarVent® is a fully integrated natural day light
and ventilation system for bathrooms and WC areas - a system that incorporates
a SUNPIPE® with a solar powered extract fan.
Wholebuild has a
number of Members promoting natural day lighting systems. You can read reviews,
see case studies and view the benefits of harnessing the sun's rays to lighten
up dark commercial and residential areas.
What other ingenious
ways do you know of being able to KEEP LIGHTS TURNED OFF?
