March 17, 2006—DayStar’s new Skylighting System is designed to bring natural sunlight indoors, enabling facilities to cut costs on lighting while increasing energy efficiency, announces the innovative producer of energy-efficient natural lighting programs, says the company.
DayStar Skylight Systems not only allows natural light into a building, but also maximizes intensification and diffuses the light into a broad lighting pattern, thus enabling businesses to save money, increase the value of the facility, and protect the environment by being more energy efficient.
During daytime hours, even on cloudy days, skylights can reduce or eliminate electric light usage and its associated costs. DayStar’s natural lighting optimizes the most powerful source of energy available, free sunlight, to provide substantial long-term energy savings. Because the skylight’s illumination power allows buildings to be operated during daytime hours without using electric lights, energy costs can be cut by as much as 50 percent, claims the company.
Here’s how it works, explains DayStar: Sunlight is gathered through the parabolic dome, and the rays are amplified by the ultra-reflective lining as they strike the ceiling lens. This concentrated light is then diffused by additional sidelight panels, which increase the spread of light far beyond conventional skylights.
DayStar is a complete system ready for installation. The retail price of a DayStar standard skylight is $1,050, which can be cost-liquidated in one to five years. The program is geared for business and industry, schools and libraries.
