Solatube® Daylighting Systems ... in industry
Intelligent building and refurbishment programmes incorporating modern tubular daylighting devices (TDDs), such as Solatube® Daylighting Systems, could dramatically reduce the daytime power usage of the UK. Industrial premises are ideal candidates for a natural lighting solution such as Solatube® Daylighting Systems. For example, in a single story, metal-clad construction with no windows and rows of sodium or metal-halide lighting, the energy used for lighting would typically account for around 70-80% of the total power requirement for the building. If these lights can be turned off during daylight hours, the reduction in emissions and corresponding costs savings would be considerable. As well as a site-wide electricity reduction many companies who have installed Solatube® Daylighting Systems also reported that the employees responded positively to working under natural light.
