Solar Daylighting

Solar Daylighting
Entech Solar Raises $6.95 Million
No matter the economic outlook, office days are about to get a lot sunnier, thanks to recent news that Entech Solar raised $6.95 million, according to SEC documents. The Fort Worth, Texas based company specializes in renewable energy technologies, specifically photovoltaics and tubular skylights that work to replace unnatural light in offices and school buildings with sunlight.

Passive Daylighting

$76.47

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Passive daylighting is a system of both: collecting sunlight using static, nonmoving, and nontracking systems such as Windows, Sliding glass doors, most skylights, light tubes, and LightLouvers; and reflecting the collected daylight deeper inside with elements such as light shelves. Passive daylighting systems are different from active daylighting systems in that active systems track and/or follow the sun, and rely on mechanical mechanisms to do so.Collecting devices rely on their position to most effectively capture sunlight.

Daylighting in the Tropics

$173.65

Residential and commercial buildings share about 55 of the world electrical energy consumption. Proper use of daylight reduces energy for lighting and air conditioning. Due to the luminosity of sky, daylighting offers a great potential for application in tropical region. However, daylighting in the tropics under the constraints of requirement of energy conservation, visual comfort, and varying skylight and sunlight faces a real challenge that still awaits satisfactory solutions. This research addresses investigating tropical daylight and its illuminance through window. Measurements at a daylight station in Bangkok, Thailand, were compiled for a priori knowledge of the availability of tropical daylight and sky luminance distributions. This study also examines a means of automated blind to bring daylight into building interior to illuminate at appropriate level as much space as possible with consideration of indoor daylight quality. Energy savings of the system is assessed through model simulation and physical experimentation. This book should be useful for researchers in daylight research group and professionals in sustainable building design community.

Practical Solar, Inc.

$58.94

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Practical Solar, Inc. is an American manufacturer of heliostats used for concentrating solar power, as well as for residential and commercial natural lighting (daylighting) applications. The company, located in Boston, Massachusetts, introduced its heliostat system for sale in February 2009. Practical Solars heliostats are small in the spectrum of heliostats commercially available for harnessing solar thermal energy. They each have 8 square feet (0.74 meters) of reflector area. To put this in perspective, the heliostats in a solar power tower project in Seville, Spain each have reflectors nearly 1,300 square feet in size (120 square meters). Practical Solars heliostat system is the first computercontrolled heliostat system that can be installed by hand, using only hand tools. Practical Solars founder Bruce Rohr suggested in Northeast Sun magazine that small heliostats are more reliable and more costeffective per square meter of reflective area than the larger heliostats typically used in solar power tower projects.
