Solatube Australia
Penrhos College, Como, WA
The objective at Penrhos College was to completely eliminate the need for the‘ hungry’ energy consuming artificial lighting systems during daylight hours, originally installed when the sports centre was built.
Solatube were able to provide a science based solution using their purpose made Daylight Design Calculator. The Solatube SolaMaster Series- 330DS Open Ceiling configured system was installed across the two multipurpose sports areas leading to an 80-90 % reduction in the use of artificial lighting.
Purpose made ball protection grills were manufactured and installed to prevent accidental damage to tubes or diffusers.
