(3)母公司之---索乐图国际 ----简介
索乐图国际是一家总部位于美国加利福尼亚州的国际企业,是日光科技方面的世界领先者。成立于二十世纪八十年代澳大利亚, 索乐图国际的起源与TDD的出现息息相关。1992,索乐图在美国加利福尼亚州的卡尔斯巴德市建立了世界总部。1998,由于全球业务的升级,索乐图国际将总部迁到加利福尼亚州的威斯塔市。2000年索乐图推出Brighten Up®明亮系列(光截获反射设备)、Raybender®光线弯折技术,取得了诸多专利。 2002索乐图国际的Spectralight® Infinity七彩无极限反射技术,因其空前的反射率为行业创造了一个新的标准。2003索乐图国际Solatube Daylight Dimmer®日光调节器获得专利。2004索乐图国际赢得了美国能源之星ENERGY STAR®节能认证,同时获得可以用于高速风雨带的严苛的Miami-Dade County认证。2007,经重新设计,索乐图国际推出完整的索乐图TDD,超越了当时国际已有的“Miracle Skylight”。
The Miracle Skylight Matures
In 2002, a major advancement was made on the performance of Solatube skylights with the introduction of Spectralight® Infinity to the product line. This new reflective tubing material set a new standard for the industry by providing unprecedented reflectivity, allowing for optimal lighting performance, particularly in low angle light conditions and on long tube runs.
In 2003, Solatube International launched an entirely new concept to the tubular skylight category – dimming capability. The Solatube Daylight Dimmer™ (patent 7,082,726) was developed as an optional feature to provide user-controlled, adjustable daylighting at the flip of a switch. This innovation opened Solatube skylights up to a whole new range of residential and commercial application where the use of tubular skylights otherwise would not have been practical.
In the years since, Solatube International has continued to refine its technology for superior performance and durability, earning the prestigious ENERGY STAR® energy-efficiency rating as well as the rigorous Miami-Dade County approval for high-velocity rain and wind zones.
The company’s research and development team is always looking for new solutions to unusual installation challenges posed by certain applications, such as indirect or obstructed roof access or installations that require situating the dome on an opposite roofline. Introduced in 2006 was the Solatube 0-90 Degree Extension Tube Adaptor, the only one of its kind in the industry, which allows the tubing to be twisted and angled like never before for unprecedented installation versatility without compromised lighting performance.
The Solatube Daylighting System
In 2007, Solatube International, Inc. launched its completely redesigned Solatube Brighten® Up Series now known as the Solatube Daylighting System (DS), a term that better reflects the ingenuity of this lighting device in both residential and commercial applications. Solatube International’s Brighten Up® Series products include the Solatube 160 DS (10 in/250 mm Daylighting System), illuminating up to 200 square feet, and the Solatube 290 DS (14 in/350 mm Daylighting System), illuminating up to 300 square feet. Both models utilize breakthrough technology, design and materials to provide exceptional natural lighting from a compact fixture.
The Solatube Daylighting System breakthrough technologies include Raybender® 3000 Technology to collect low-angle sunlight and deflect over-powering mid-day rays; Spectralight® Infinity, the world’s most reflective tubing material; the in-dome LightTracker™ Reflector, which increases light input for increased light output; and highly engineered diffuser options. The Daylighting System is kept airtight and water-tight with a Moisture Control System and triple-seal system.
The improved product also has several new features that simplify the installation process, such as “easy-snap” and preinstalled components. Diffuser options include the proprietary new Vusion™ diffuser and the OptiView® diffuser. Create a multi-functional unit by adding a Light Add-On Kit, Ventilation Add-On Kit or Daylight Dimmer within the same ceiling fixture. The Solatube Daylighting System is ENERGY STAR®-rated for optimal energy efficiency.
Going Green
Bolstered by widely publicized research studies linking daylighting with health benefits, boosted worker productivity and student performance, among other perks, Solatube International has found vast opportunities and tremendous demand for its daylighting product in the commercial market, particularly in the retail and education sectors. As members of the U.S. Green Building Council, Solatube International has also been discovered by the sustainable design community as a simple and effective way to earn LEED™ certification credits. Solatube Daylighting Systems are specified in dozens of LEED projects around the U.S., with growth expected to increase as more local, state and federal governmental agencies and departments adopt the rating system for their building projects.
Businesses and institutions aren’t the only ones turning to energy-efficient lighting options. More and more homeowners around the country are also demanding “green” design options for their homes. In turn, major homebuilders, as well as the manufactured/pre-fabricated housing industry, have embraced Solatube Daylighting Systems as a versatile lighting option that can be simply and affordably integrated into home designs.
In the 20 years that have passed since its first patent was sought, Solatube Daylighting Systems have demonstrated an unrivaled commitment to state-of-the-art technology and design. The future looks even brighter for Solatube International with several new products currently in development. By continuing to improve upon the oldest – and finest – light source of all, Solatube Daylighting Systems have opened up a whole new world of natural lighting solutions.
