San Francisco CA., September 11, 2007 - Australian technology that delivers natural daylight to the inner core of residential or commercial buildings is helping to brighten living and work spaces, while cutting energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
DayRay Flexible Daylighting™ is made up of flexible polymer light fibers that carry daylight to the inner core of a building. Daylight collectors can sit anywhere on external surfaces and capture light even on cloudy days.
Michael Bonello , CEO of DayRay™ parent company Skydome Holdings, said that the focus on sustainable architectural solutions has never been more intense.
“Businesses and the public are demanding greener building alternatives. Our pioneering technology is the next generation of daylighting solutions delivering a whole new level of flexibility in residential and business environments,” Bonello said.
DayRay is a BSI delegation company presenting at the AlwaysOn Going Green event at the University of California, Davis [September 10-12, 2007] in order to meet with investors, manufacturers and distributors for the US.
“Installation is simple and has minimal structural impact. The compact light fittings can be mounted on ceilings, walls or floors. It provides the flexibility that architects and designers are looking for while delivering environmentally-sustainable outcomes.
“It can be used in single and multi-storey residential properties through to commercial, industrial, mining, shipping and hazardous environments.”
“There is no heat loss or gain associated with this light so the cost of heating or air-conditioning and its greenhouse impact is also reduced,” Bonello said.
Bonello said in addition its the environmental and economic benefits, natural daylight can positively influence learning capabilities and performance and have a positive impact on health and well-being.
“Natural daylight immediately enhances the overall feeling of a home or a building,” Bonello said.
“Natural light is an abundant and free natural resource which our Australian technology can now take into every corner of your home or office.”
