• 2/22/2012 - Skylights in Newcastle could bring light relief

Novocastrians will already be aware of the City administration’s plan, Newcastle 2030, to make the
best use of their natural resources. In 2012 they have declared a ten year plan detailing how the
town intends to do this.
You will be glad to hear that there is one very simple way that individuals all over Australia can help
their communities to make a more sustainable and safer environment by cutting down a little on the
CO2 production made by their own house or business. One of the ways we produce Carbon Dioxide,
one of the main ‘Greenhouse gases’, is by using energy. 
All of our energy is produced by fossil fuels of one sort or another: gas, coal or oil, and all of these
add to the burden of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We can cut our use down by using as
much natural sunlight as possible and now we have technologies that help us produce hot water,
heat and, obviously light. 
Light, you may say, comes through our windows all the time, doesn’t it? Well no, not if you have a
space without any or enough windows, and then the temptation is to have an electric light on all the
time but if you have a Solatube Skylight System installed you can fulfil your need for having light
while saving on energy and bills.
Tubular skylights bring natural light into your home which is superior to any other type of light; our
bodies are adapted to natural sunlight and whether you are working or playing, natural light is better
for your eyes and general health. Are there any negative effects of having a Solatube skylight fitted
in your home? No, unlike simple skylights they do not change the temperature of the building or
cause drafts and unlike being outside in the sun you don’t have to worry about sunburn or insect
bites. Tubular skylights will bring only the benefits of being outside on a warm day and all the
pleasure of being in natural sunlight.
