Velux Sun Tunnels |
Sun Tunnels by VeluxThe sun has existed as the brightest star in the solar system. This star has been shining as a source of energy for all life forms. Since the sun shines, most life forms are able to see anything clearly due to its bright light. The brightness of the sun has provided scientists different ideas on lighting during nighttime and in dark places. Products such as light bulbs, fluorescent lights, and lamps have lighted the world throughout history. However, most of these man-made illumination devices use up energy, whether its fire or electricity, and emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The rising concern for climate change and increasing energy prices has sparked scientists and developers to create sustainable and energy-efficient lighting solutions, where one of them is daylighting. Daylighting refers to the arrangement of openings and reflective surfaces in order for the natural light to provide sufficient illumination. This method has proven to cut costs and energy wasted by man-made lighting products. Velux, a producer of daylighting solutions, has created the Sun Tunnels skylight to provide sufficient natural lighting in different areas of a building or residence, mostly in bathrooms and living rooms. The sun tunnelss are available in tight and flexible structures, and private and pitched flashing capabilities. However, Velux has also developed a TCR commercial sun tunnel for bright natural lighting in commercial structures with their daylight controllers and self-flashing kits, similar in quality to thier tubular skylights. Since these lighting solutions are also easy to install, the sun tunnels have proven to be combinations of convenience and sustainability in providing natural light. Related Articles:
