Papamoa College, Bay of Plenty.
When it comes to education,
environment has a significant
bearing on student achievement
and staff effectiveness. Exposure
to natural light in classrooms
benefits students mentally,
physically and emotionally,
enabling them to perform
significantly better than
students learning in artificially-lit
environments.

Healthcare studies have
shown that exposure to
natural light can decrease
patients’ length of stay
in hospitals, reduce
depression, improve sleep
and wake cycles, assist with
care of dementia patients,
improve adjustment to night
shift work among staff, and
much more.

There is a direct correlation between work environment
satisfaction and access to daylight in that environment.
Providing an enhanced working environment brings
benefits of increased productivity and reduced
absenteeism. Solatube Daylighting Systems are designed
to mitigate the negative aspects associated with
traditional methods of daylighting, such as glare, solar
heat gain, heat loss and disruption to working patterns.

Studies show increased
sales under a daylit retail
environment as opposed
to artificial light alone, with
consumers staying longer
within a store to shop.
Daylight provides true and
vivid colour rendition which is
excellent for presentation of
merchandise. The Solatube
Daylighting System dome has
a filter that prevents harmful
ultraviolet light from entering
the building, which can
damage interiors and fade
furniture and fabrics.

Solatube products are engineered to reduce
environmental impact while providing energyefficient lighting that nurtures building occupants.
By utilising sustainable natural daylight, our systems
eliminate the need for electric lights during the day.
This minimises a building’s carbon footprint by
reducing environmental CO2 emissions.

Solatube Features and Benefits
There are numerous reasons to consider daylighting your building. Studies have shown
that:
• Daylight improves building occupants’ health, wellbeing and productivity.
• A lack of daylight can disrupt internal body clocks and cause significant psychological
and physiological impairment, affecting concentration, cooperation and health
• Natural light in buildings can lead to significant energy savings compared to buildings
relying solely on artificial light
• Solatube Daylighting Systems are designed to provide superior performance,
extraordinary adaptability and affordable sustainability. In addition, optional
accessories make customization possible, useful design tools make system selection
easy, and a nationwide network of distributors provide convenient and dependable
service.
• Breakthrough optics deliver reliable, consistent, and glare-free daylight regardless of
building orientation or geographic location
• Superior light transfer efficiency and progressive engineering enable delivery of light to
multiple stories
• Adaptable design allows for retrofitting onto existing skylight curbs and reconfiguration
for future remodels and renovations
• Superior thermal performance reduces the load requirement for air-conditioning, which
minimizes noise and reduces energy costs
• The most visible and effective green feature you can add to any building environment.
