These installations provide illumination and ventilation solutions for residential and commercial buildings. They are designed to integrate into existing roof structures, offering an alternative to traditional vertical windows. Materials and construction focus on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The importance of these systems lies in their ability to reduce reliance on artificial lighting, lowering energy consumption and promoting a healthier indoor environment. Historically, natural light has been a coveted architectural element; modern iterations maximize its accessibility while minimizing heat transfer and UV exposure. The reduced environmental impact from decreased energy use and the potential use of recycled materials contribute to a more sustainable building footprint.
