Solatube Daylighting For Offices

     I completed this office lighting project back in October 2011, there were a total of ten 14" Solatubes to be installed on a flat roof building structure with a metal corrugated roof deck.  The 12 foot tube runs reached down through the open plentum space to the 110 square ft offices below.

 12 inch curbs where contructed to raise the flashings and domes above the roof line, the end result flooded the offices with stunning natural daylighting. The ceiling was composed of drywall and was supported with metal joists above.  The existing office light fixtures where replaced with Solatube add-on light kits for the new locations for supplemental night time lighting.
