Olympic Facility in Beijing Illuminated with New Solatube 750 DS Daylighting Systems We are accustomed to play a role in the greening of the Olympics this year and to advice actualize such a admirable and energy-efficient facility We are decidedly appreciative to clearly bare our latest abstruse innovations on such a massive common stage. Compared with acceptable lighting systems, Solatube Daylighting Systems accept a different advantage with a bigger progressed appearance and a advanced appliance field It reduces ability acceptance and exceeds our ecology architecture goals.
San Diego -- As China set out to actualize the first-ever “Green Olympics,” designers angry to Solatube International Inc., the common arch architect and banker of Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) to accommodate accustomed lighting solutions for a new Olympic event-designated amphitheater at the Beijing Science & Technology University. The aggregation appear today that the accession of 148 Solatube 750 DS Daylighting Systems (approximately anniversary 21 in/530 mm in diameter) is now complete.

The amphitheater will host the judo and taekwondo Olympic competitions, as able-bodied as the Paralympics wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball events. The Solatube Daylighting Systems brighten the facility’s capital gymnasium, which includes a 2,400-square-meter antagonism amphitheatre that seats over 8,000 spectators.
This is the aboriginal accessible accession of the new Solatube 750 DS, which is the latest artefact addition from Solatube International. The Solatube 750 DS collects ablaze through a technologically advanced, cellophane dome, transports it down a awful cogitating tube and distributes it through a diffuser to accommodate above lighting and extend the hours of aurora accessible aural an autogenous space.
“We are accustomed to play a role in the greening of the Olympics this year and to advice actualize such a admirable and energy-efficient facility,” said David Rillie, CEO of Solatube International. “We are decidedly appreciative to clearly bare our latest abstruse innovations on such a massive common stage.”
The architects designing the ability approved a way to add accustomed ablaze to the architecture that would amuse the needs of athletes and spectators, while abbreviation the charge for artificial lighting. However, with a steel-frame roof, abundant obstructions and a circulation even over 55.8 anxiety (17 meters) high, the architecture provided abounding architecture challenges. Skylights were not an advantage due to the building’s obstructions, for they would abnormally appulse ablaze manual and delivery.
The band-aid was the Solatube 750 DS Daylighting System. The architecture challenges were affected abundantly due to the top ablaze manual backdrop of the Spectralight® Infinity Tubing, which accustomed the aurora to be auspiciously transmitted over 26.1 anxiety (eight meters) and was angled about architecture obstructions. Additionally, the building’s Solatube Daylighting Systems were able with OptiView® Diffusers to analogously banish the aurora throughout the autogenous amplitude and Daylight DimmersTM, so that the aurora could be adapted anywhere from 100 percent to two percent for optimum activity efficiency, addressee abundance and alteration amplitude requirements.
“Compared with acceptable lighting systems, Solatube Daylighting Systems accept a different advantage with a bigger progressed appearance and a advanced appliance field,” said Weimin Shuang, artisan and administrator of the Architecture Design Institute of Qinghua University. “It reduces ability acceptance and exceeds our ecology architecture goals.”
Coupled with an careful close dome, the Solatube 750 DS delivers connected illumination, beheld abundance and thermal performance. Of abundant accent to all participants aural the facility, the artefact ensures a bright, connected and adequate akin of daylighting by about-face glints and bond ablaze in its shaft.
Designers of the activity aswell chose Solatube Daylighting Systems because in the acute Beijing sun of August, it eliminates able blaze and hot spots, as able-bodied as stops UV application and calefaction from entering the building. All year long, the product‘s proprietary Raybender 3000® Technology aswell lengthens the day by acquisition aboriginal morning and backward afternoon sunlight and bringing it into the building.
Lighting, both daylighting and artificial lighting, can generally accomplish calefaction into autogenous spaces. However, the Solatube Daylighting System uses Raybender 3000 Technology to abate the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, which decidedly improves activity ability because it does not ache the HVAC arrangement during the aiguille hours of the day. Thus, by installing Solatube 750 DS Daylighting Systems, the Beijing Science & Technology University Gymnasium is able to access the accomplished solar calefaction accretion to beheld manual arrangement currently accessible from any daylighting artefact (including every window and skylight on the bazaar worldwide).
The Solatube 750 DS is now accessible for blueprint and will be accessible for acquirement and addition in backward summer 2008. All above architecture cipher compliances, as able-bodied as the coveted ENERGY STAR® rating, are currently pending.
Solatube International Inc., based in Vista, Calif. (northern San Diego County), is the common arch architect and banker of Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs). The company’s flagship product, the Solatube Daylighting System, provides a advocate accustomed lighting band-aid for all types of residential and bartering applications and is the alone spec-grade TDD currently accessible on the market. The adage “Innovation in DaylightingTM” reflects the company’s charge to the development of advance daylighting technologies, which has resulted in abundant patents dating aback to the mid-1980s. Widely accustomed as the industry innovator, Solatube International has becoming acclaim about the apple for its incomparable adeptness to transform autogenous spaces with the ability of daylight.
