More "Eco" and more "Green" with feet firmly on the ground
“Green thought" of the day: More natural light, Why?
Natural light is a free, renewable source of light that is available during the day. By taking advantage of natural light to illuminate our homes and workspaces, we can reduce the energy consumption that would be required to keep the lights on during the day. This can result in significant savings on your electricity bill, especially in the long run. Furthermore, by reducing electricity consumption, we are also reducing the CO2 emissions that are generated to produce this energy. On the other hand, artificial light is produced from non-renewable energy sources, such as electricity generated from fossil fuels. The production and consumption of electricity is responsible for a large amount of CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. By using less artificial light, we are reducing the demand for electricity and, consequently, reducing the associated CO2 emissions. Therefore, by using more natural light and less artificial light, we are contributing to reducing energy bills and combating CO2 emissions. Some ways to take advantage of natural light include opening drapes and windows to let in light, painting walls and ceilings in light colors that reflect light, and positioning work areas close to windows to take advantage of natural light.
Where can we go even further?!
Chatron offers solutions that go beyond what exists on the market in terms of solar tubes for daylighting. We present several models and versions of solar tubes that can be suitable for different types of constructions and specific needs, contrary to what happens with other “players” in the market. Exclusive model such as "Heavy Floor", which is a passable solar tube, which means it can be installed in areas where there is traffic of people or equipment. This model can be useful in places such as malls, hospitals or factories, where it is important to have natural lighting, but it is also necessary to maintain the safety and functionality of the space. Other exclusive models are the "Tubo Solar + Ledin" and the "Uranus", which feature the possibility of having dimmable interior lighting, allowing you to adjust the light intensity according to the needs of the environment and save electricity. These models can be useful in spaces such as offices, schools or homes, where different activities are taking place and natural lighting needs to be adjusted to ensure the visual comfort of users. All Chatron products are of high quality, made with high quality materials and advanced technology, in order to guarantee the maximum possible efficiency in capturing and transmitting sunlight. Overall, Chatron features a wide range of solar tube solutions for daylighting that can be suited to different building types and specific needs. However, it is important to emphasize that the choice of the most suitable model must take into account a series of factors, such as the specific characteristics of the construction and the needs of the users. We advise all interested parties to do careful research and comparative evaluation of different options available on the market so that they can come to the conclusion that everything we are conveying above.
Thinking “Green” is also thinking about the circularity of products and Chatron has this Commitment
Chatron’s Solar Light Tubes are an innovative solution for Natural Lighting of spaces, allowing natural light to enter places that would normally be illuminated by artificial light. For these products to be sustainable, it's important that they show circularity throughout their entire life cycle. Chatron has always been concerned with the quality of the raw materials and components it uses in its production cycle, but circularity currently occupies a prominent place in the innovation and development that Chatron is operating in 2023. Firstly, it's important that the materials used in the manufacture of Solar Light Tubes are as sustainable as possible and, if possible, from renewable sources, such as recycled aluminum, recycled metal, recyclable polycarbonates, recyclable plastics and/or glass with low environmental impact . Furthermore, it's important that Solar Light Tubes are designed to be energy efficient so as to reduce the consumption of natural resources and the CO2 emissions associated with their use. Another important aspect of the circularity of Solar Light Tubes is their ease of disassembly, reassembly and/or recycling. The materials used must be easily separable so that they can be reused and reused in other products, reducing the amount of waste generated and minimizing the environmental impact of discarding these products. Only as a last resort should they be recycled. Furthermore, it's important that Solar Light Tubes are designed to minimize the environmental impacts associated with their transport and installation. This can be done, for example, by using light and compact materials, which reduce the space required for transport, and by designing installation systems that minimize the time and environmental impact associated with installing Solar Light Tubes.
