Solatube Tubular Daylighting Devices
Solatube Daylighting Systems are recognised for their ability to add natural daylight to a space, helping design professionals achieve LEED accreditation. Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) harvest the daylight from a rooftop dome and transfer it down highly reflective aluminum tubing that can bend up to 90 degree angles and run up to 70 feet long. The optical technology utilised in TDDs offers innovative ways to incorporate sustainable design achievements into a project, which is critical in LEED ratings.

3M Architectural Markets Sunlight Delivery System is a new energy- efficient daylighting solution for commercial buildings. The system uses a GPS-equipped rooftop collector with a single roof penetration to actively track and capture the sun. Horizontal and vertical ducts lined with 3M’s highly reflective film carry the light deep into the building’s interior, where it is delivered with multiple light fixtures. Energy-efficient artificial lighting is also incorporated, with controls that provide consistent lighting in dark or overcast conditions.

Oceanair has designed and developed their comprehensive range of curtains and blind systems to incorporate a powered option using a range of different motors. The ‘Motor Menu’ starts with a regular low cost entry level motor offering the easiest and simplest way to give an automated experience. This can be upgraded to the ‘whispering’ Sonnesse motor, enabling blind control without infringing onboard tranquility. The range is completed with the ultimate drive option of the near silent Lutron drive, with its inbuilt intelligence to align blind and curtain movements, supported by simple integration in to the Lutron ‘Homeworks’ control system.

Vision SEFAR Architecture
SEFAR Architecture Vision is a metal-coated precision fabric interlayer, typically laminated within glass or other transparent materials, to create aesthetic design pos- sibilities in exterior glass facades, windows and interior glass partition wall systems. It utilises metal-coated fabrics with various apertures to create a reflective quality with- out overwhelming glare. On a building’s exterior facade, Vision fabrics deliver brilliant light refraction – all without impeding views from the building interior. The end result is a sophisticated, often iridescent glass façade in a variety of rich colour tones.

Daylighting Guide Lighting Research Center
Professors at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Lighting Research Center (LRC) have developed a daylighting design guide that balances the photobiological benefits of daylighting with well-known daylight design techniques that can be applied in schools. The book is the culmination of a research project that began in 2008, sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and, in part, by a grant from a Trans-National Institutes of Health Genes, Environment and Health Initiative (NIH-GEI), to scientifically quantify the impact of daylight design on students’ well-being and performance in K-12 schools and investigate the underlying biological mechanisms associated with this possible link.
