Solatube Commercial Skylights and Ventilation

Leading the daylighting revolution

Daylight is a highly cost-effective means of reducing the energy for electrical lighting and cooling. As a pioneer in the daylighting industry and the global leader in tubular skylights for over 20 years, we’ve perfected the capture and transmission of the sun’s rays indoors where it was once thought impossible.

Commercial Skylight Applications

When businesses are required to provide a certain level of lighting for employees or customers, electrical light should be considered a contingency plan or night time solution when natural light is available. Retail stores are a prime example of where a business as well as the consumer can benefit and save from a natural lighting solution. Solatube skylights provide a wide array of Industry Lighting Solutions.

Aside from their functionality, our daylighting systems also promote creative architectural expression. They can be utilised to achieve specific lighting effects such as wall washes and soffit lighting. They even can provide illumination for special applications such as living walls and aquariums.

Energy Savings For Your Business

Lighting is one of the biggest single consumers of electrical energy in commercial buildings and can account for up to 80% of annual utility costs. Our goal for your project is a solution where your premises will only have to use artificial/electric lights no more than 15% of daytime occupied hours.

Putting the savings to the test is one of our customers who designed their office/warehouse to be power neutral using Solatube skylights and ventilation systems, as part of their “smart building” design. Read how they achieved energy efficiency.

Commercial Client Testimonials

  • This complex project of upgrading two sections in the heart of the Greek Precinct in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne had challenges throughout the works for all contractors on site to deliver this unique upgrade. 24 Solatube Daylighting Systems from Belle Daylighting were selected to provide an even light level on the footpath below the awnings.

    Over the past five years The City of Melbourne has engaged Belle Daylighting to provide Solatube Daylighting Systems for our new design of the stainless steel public toilets throughout the CBD and parklands, to the satisfaction of all authorities, with providing lights levels to meet all standards of safety for the general public.

    I firmly believe that Solatube Daylighting Systems installed for the correct application of producing light levels, will enhance and add value to all projects.

    Ray A Thompson
    Melbourne City Council

  • “We are very pleased with the outcomes of our lighting design. The showroom was opened in winter but the natural light Solatube Daylighting Systems bring in has significantly reduced the need for artificial light even on dull days. Staff enjoy working in a more naturally lit environment. The Solatube Daylighting Systems have attracted considerable attention and are a frequent talking point among staff and visitors.

     

    Early indications are that the use of Solatube Daylighting Systems will deliver significant cost savings in tandem with our specification of low wattage electric lighting controlled by daylight sensors in the showroom.”

    Warren Gibb
    General Manager, Property and Business Development Giltrap Group

  • Solatube Daylighting Systems’ bright natural light transforms the shopping experience in our store. Customers are happier and more comfortable - it is quite a talking point with them. Natural light makes merchandising so much more colourful and vibrant. Solatube ultimately means more sales for our store. This along with the significant energy savings on our lighting bill is why Solatube Daylighting Systems are such a great benefit to our business.

     

    Greg Hind
    Store Manager, Browns IGA Longford. Tasmania.

  • “The completed showroom is truly an outstanding demonstration of how natural light can be incorporated into any building type where there is the need and desire to utilise a natural resource for everyday living and function.”

     

    Mike Cullen,
    National Trade Manager, HomeTech Solatube.

    “The display was enlightening. My first reaction to the wall mounted lights was that we would go out the door to the outside, not the warehouse.”
    Specifier comment.

  • “Ours was a challenging job that a traditional skylight would not be able to handle. Standard skylights simply will not transmit light down such a long distance whereas a Solatube Daylighting System can. People function better with natural light.

     

    The company benefits in more ways than one. We see improved productivity from our staff, and we expect to realise significant energy savings and lower electricity costs.”
