Greenhouse Tube Fans
Solar Lights To Brighten Your Steel Building And Save Costs
Well, this is an excellent idea because you can have the natural light of the sun shine through rather then having your lights on for a long period of time. This will reduce your electricity bill and you’re also considering the environment!
You can install solar tubes (sun tunnels) which are easily retrofitted into new or existing building and are very popular. Also which ever Energy Star rated system you decide to go with, it may qualify for a federal tax incentive that can go up to 30% of the cost. As well as, local and state incentives may also apply. Basically, the way electricity works is with every flick of the switch, electricity is typically generated by burning fossil fuels, and pollution, and greenhouse gases are released. By utilizing the power of the sun to lower electricity usage, you’ll reduce the amount of carbon you use and help clear the air. A solar tube consists of a clear dome that collects sunlight into a highly polished and reflective tube that reflects the light down to a diffuser on the ceiling.
Consider larger solar tubes or multiple units for larger rooms as this may be necessary. Diffusers, night time lighting, daylight dimmers and integrated bathroom fans are just some options for solar tubes. With a super energy-efficient solar tube used in your steel buildings, you can qualify for a federal tax credit, especially if it has a V-factor and solar heat gain coefficient less than or equal to.30 and it is installed between these dates: June 1, 2009 – December 31, 2010.
