Energy management and overhead lighting with LAMILUX skylights

Daylighting systems are now of paramount importance for efficient energy management. Special attention is paid to all components of skylights: from the type of glazing to the profile or sash systems, including control technologies. LAMILUX skylights thus represent an all-in-one element for energy-efficient buildings.

Choosing a glazing system suited to the building's function therefore appears crucial. It is imperative to find the right balance between natural light penetration and transparency, light channeling and diffusion, solar and thermal protection, as well as soundproofing and controlled glare.

The glazing

Although natural light contributes to significant energy savings, it is nevertheless wise to control it carefully. Thanks to fixed or adjustable shading systems, LAMILUX skylights guarantee a measured supply of daylight and heat. This regulates the interior temperature within the building.

Electronic controls also play an important role in intelligently controlling energy supply. Connected control equipment harmonizes all interactive operations. The rhythm is, for example, regulated by timers, sun position sensors, light intensity sensors, and even pyrometric probes.

Profile systems 

LAMILUX glass roof profiles form a highly flexible system that allows for virtually unrestricted design. The supporting structure is made of high-quality aluminum. The profile systems also feature optimized thermal insulation that meets passive house standards, significantly minimizing the risk of condensation on the inside of the glass roofs.

Integrated leaf systems for NSHEV or ventilation

Natural ventilation, created by the integration of a system of adjustable dampers built into glass roofs or facades, helps to significantly optimize the temperature in buildings, thus considerably reducing the use of air conditioning or ventilation devices.

Finally, the leaf systems ensure the smoke and heat evacuation function (SHEV) in the event of a fire. If necessary, reliable and flawless detection and control technologies are essential. These are connected to other mobile building elements via control centers and integrated into the central building management system.
