This week, we’re continuing to recognize our River Vine Project Partners by spotlighting Solatube International, Inc., a global leader and innovator in tubular daylighting devices (TDDs). AMS has worked with Solatube International for almost a decade, installing the company’s high-performing TDDs in our Gen7 classrooms.
Daylighting is a top priority for River Vine—as it is for Gen7—and we wanted a product that would give us the greatest output of high quality daylight. We found Solatube’s advanced daylighting system to be the ideal solution for lighting River Vine’s interior in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way, saving energy while evenly distributing light to make living spaces warm, bright and inviting. The dome-shaped TDDs install easily within River Vine’s ceiling system and utilize patented optical technologies to improve and channel how daylight is captured and delivered to each room. Not only are Solatube Systems more space-efficient than traditional skylights, they’re uniquely designed to enhance comfort, diffusing sunlight to reduce glare while screening both infrared rays that can overheat interior space and ultraviolet rays that can fade furniture and fabrics.
“We found Solatubes to be a superior choice in our Gen7 classrooms and know that their advanced functionality and aesthetic appeal will translate seamlessly to a home environment. Studies show that natural light is a mood-lifter, making people feel more positive, productive and connected to the outdoors. It’s one of the main reasons teachers and students enjoy spending time in their bright, sunny Gen7 classrooms, and it’s a key reason family and friends will enjoy spending time in River Vine.”
