Celebrate Earth Day, Every Day

Solatube products have now offset over 137 million pounds of carbon emissions.

 

Solatube International, the world’s-leading manufacturer, and marketer of tubular skylights and home ventilation systems are encouraging homeowners to celebrate Earth Day daily. The company is best known for its Solatube tubular skylights, a “green” daylighting solution that allows homeowners to reduce their energy consumption by switching off electric lights during the day.

According to ENERGY STAR, each year, 12% of a typical single-family home’s energy bill is spent on lighting. An additional 42% of the bill is spent on heating and cooling costs, which can be greatly impacted by electric light use, heat/gain loss from inefficient windows, and inadequate ventilation.

Using patented technology, tubular skylights harvest daylight at the rooftop, transfer it down a highly reflective tube and distribute it evenly into an interior space through a diffuser at the ceiling — on both sunny and cloudy days — with virtually no maintenance. It floods rooms in the home with beautiful, natural light at no cost once installed, and with no heat or cold transfer.

The first Solatube product was sold in 1991 and today more than 2 million people have “turned off the lights” by installing tubular skylights in their homes. Each Solatube installation has helped to conserve resources and protect the environment for a better future.

By conservative estimates, we have sold enough Solatube tubular skylights to offset 137,180,000 pounds in carbon emissions annually,” said Solatube International President Robert E. Westfall, Jr. “That equates to taking 11,430 cars off the road for a full year.”

Together, homeowners can live every day as if it is Earth Day through the investment of “green” daylighting and ventilation solutions in the home.
