"Using as much natural light in buildings as possible has many advantages over using artificial lights …"
"Daylight Savings: Building With Natural Light" (ScienceDaily) |

Managing light transmission and solar heat is critical to effective design and efficient energy use. Traditional skylights and daylighting systems often deliver too much sunlight on sunny, hot days and fail to take advantage of the natural light on cloudy, cold days.
Controlite introduces the intelligent daylighting system that brings the optimal amount of daylight indoors.
The system is formed from light-transmitting polycarbonate panels with translucent, rotating louvers ("RotaBlades™"). The RotaBlades "sense" the daylight outside and adjust their position throughout the day to transmit the exact amount of daylight through the panel. See how the system works. |

Increased comfort through "optimized" daylight. RotaBlades adapt to changing conditions — especially "harvesting" daylight early and late in the day — for effective control of light, shading, and solar heat gain to block heat in summer and maximize daylight in winter.

Sustainable design. Controlite panels integrate into energy-efficient building design and allow designers to earn credit points with green building rating systems. |
