Sky Tubes for your roof let the sun in to rooms
Posted by admin on Oct 7, 2007
In the UK, the Skytube is still an unknown technology and I feel if people were shown the advantages and the whole benefits of sky tubes they would be more widely bought.
The building sector industry and companies in it such as Westbridge Homes should be encouraged to make them a standard spec for new houses, then out line the savings and reduction in the owners carbon foot print.
Just buying a house and having an en-suite which is in the centre of the house it has no natural light or windows. The room then relies on electric lights which cost money to run and increase carbon output. I feel that the en-suite would be an perfect room to use a sky tube in as you have to still use an electric light during daylight hours when its bright sunshine outside and you shouldn’t be really using lights when sun light is shining on the roof of the house.
