Introducing the new Echo Trail Middle School in Metro Louisville! Designed by JRA Architects to serve 1,000 students, this innovative school is set against a beautiful rural backdrop. The architectural design pays homage to the natural surroundings, with barn-like structures strategically positioned on a plateau, offering breathtaking views and optimal visibility from the street and park. In addition to its striking design, the school utilizes insulated concrete formwork and geothermal heating and cooling for exceptional efficiency. Two-story pavilions neatly define grade levels, administrative offices, teaching areas and gym/cafeteria support spaces. Recognizing the importance of daylight on educational outcomes, Colin Drake, FAIA, LEED AP, principal at JRA Architects, collaborated with Solatube Commercial Distributor Shaffner Heaney Associates, Inc. Its representative for the project, John Owens, suggested using Solatube Daylighting Systems (TDDs) to bring ample daylight into interior windowless rooms. These TDDs equipped with daylight dimmers allow educators to easily adjust light levels, creating a flexible and dynamic learning environment. Learn how Solatube International helped transform Echo Trail Middle School with daylight starting on page 82 in the latest issue of Premier Construction. https://lnkd.in/e4WhhHdb #SolatubeInternational #TubularDaylighting #ArchitectureDesign #EducationDesign #Daylighting

With daylight design, we believe the possibilities are limitless. By harnessing the right solutions and a touch of creativity, architects and designers can transform an ordinary space into something truly captivating. Take the retrofit of Miami Dade College West Campus. The design team utilized our 750 DS-O Tubular Daylighting Systems with integrated light, but they didn't want to simply illuminate the halls. Instead, the architect customized colorful acrylic covers to create a unique lighting concept. Now, the even glow from the TDDs coupled with the covers has brought life to this corner of the campus. Contact us at 888.SOLATUBE to explore the possibilities of merging form and function with Solatube TDDs. #SolatubeInternational #TubularDaylighting #ArchitectureDesign #EducationDesign #Daylighting #FormFunction

Retrofitting buildings will continue to be a vital tool for the building industry in lowering carbon emissions. According to the World Green Building Council, an estimated 39% of global carbon emissions come from the commercial sector, either through energy use or construction. This staggering statistic highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions in the built environment. In a recent article for Construction Specifier, Brent Trenga, sustainability director of Kingspan Insulated Panels North America, emphasizes the importance of investing in retrofitting to meet emission reduction targets and achieve net zero by 2050, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. Trenga explains how it lowers energy consumption and extends building lifespans, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective option than new construction. Explore the article below to learn about the benefits of retrofitting and how this approach can lead to a more sustainable and resilient. https://buff.ly/4dqkRWW #SolatubeInternational #Kingspan #KingspanLightAir #KingspanInsulatedPanels #Carbon #NetZero #Retrofit #Innovation #BrighterSpaces

When Stellana, a wheels and tires manufacturer in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, realized their dark manufacturing and office spaces were negatively impacting employee performance and satisfaction, they sought an effective daylighting solution. When consulting Solatube Distributor Brighter Concepts Ltd., they learned about Solatube Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs). Due to Wisconsin's grey winters, a big selling point for Stellena was the TDD's ability to capture sunlight at all angles and direct it deep into the building with virtually no heat transfer. To properly daylight the facility, Brighter Concepts installed (3) 290Ds Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) in their offices and (3) 750DS-O TDDs in their manufacturing area. Today, the facility is filled with broad-spectrum daylight, providing ample benefits for the company's employees all year long.
