Benefits of Natural Light

But why take advantage of natural light?

The visual and biological effects that natural light has on human beings are diverse, including an increase in overall productivity and a reduction in errors.

It also makes it possible to switch off light bulbs and ballasts during the hours when natural light is available:

Lower electricity consumption;
Extending the life of these components;
Reducing heat radiation from the heating of this (artificial) system.

In short, the use of natural light in professional environments allows for a return on investment in just a few months, thanks to the savings generated by the reduction in electricity consumption and the maintenance of this (artificial) system.

Natural lighting is a renewable, free and sustainable resource. Essential for life on the planet as we know it, lighting from the sun is still poorly exploited in the infrastructure industry, leading to a series of consequences that could be avoided with solutions such as those from Engepoli.

The ultimate solution in zenith lighting

The Skylux System was developed to solve the main problems faced by traditional domus systems: the constant appearance of leaks and infiltrations, cracks, premature yellowing of the translucent material and lower than expected light output.

Structured entirely with aluminum profiles, which provide greater durability to the system, and translucent sheets of good origin, the system was developed to cover multiple spans of tiles, regardless of the model or size of the tile.

Instead of cutting into the roof at various points, applying ruffles or metal collars, the Skylux system is applied directly to the tiles adjacent to the light gap, in a very simple, efficient and safe way.

In addition to these features, the Skylux system is sized according to the lighting needs informed by the client or required by the activity performed in the room.

In this case, we used NBR-5413 (the standard governing interior illuminances for artificial lighting) as a guide for the average illuminances to be achieved by the Skylux system.

Finally, we have special software that generates the luminous behavior of the system for all scenarios of the year: solstices and equinoxes, regardless of the type of sky, latitude or longitude.

There are many benefits to prismatic daylighting, but the main one is that it spreads natural light much more efficiently than traditional systems.

Saving money: Switch off light bulbs at least 8 hours a day
Efficiency: Efficient on sunny and cloudy days
Temperature: Lower thermal transmission than other materials
Glare: No glare as the light is diffused
Investment: Get a return on investment within two years
Hot Spots: Does not concentrate lightning on a single point
Productivity: Increase employee productivity with natural light
Filter: Filters out 98% of UV rays

What type of roof tile can the SKYLUX system be applied to?

Regardless of the tile model, the domus arch is manufactured according to the size of the tile, i.e. we don’t work with pre-defined dimensions. The biggest advantage of this is that we don’t make any adaptations to match our system to the profile of the roof tile, meaning that the risk of leaks and infiltrations is practically zero.

The Skylux System is universal and can be applied to any type of roof tile, whether metal, corrugated, zipped or concrete. The biggest advantage is that we adapt the system to the profile of the roof tile, meaning that the risk of infiltration is practically zero.
