NOGlare. No other skylight, no other method of daylighting can do what this SunTrackerActive Skylight can do. This provides 3 TIMES the amount of light for 3 TIMES as long per day with 2~4 TIMES the thermal protec- tion of any other skylight. Soft, diffused, natural day- light that makes it seem like you’re outside, even if there are no windows. Everywhere we’ve installed these, people are amazed at how much daylight these bring in – but there’s no heat or glare. It really is incred- ible and unlike any skylight before this.
The research is conclusive – daylighting improves learning by 26% (1999 PG&E study) and in factories and warehouses it improves productivity and re- duces mistakes, accidents and workers comp. And in the retail environment, sales improve 10% to 40% - and the increased profit from those sales is worth 20~100 TIMES the energy sav- ings. So, while the energy savings from being able to keep all your lights off almost all day is very significant, the human perfor- mance enhancement benefits are worth many times more
It gets better! The dome is clear impact resistant acrylic and its shape maximizes solar penetration. With low profile domes, most of the light reflects off! At the base of the dome there is a sealed prismatic lens. This provides 26” of dead air space – THE best insulator. The gathered light then enters a sealed, reflective lightwell, then enters the space through another sealed prismatic lens. This creates a 2nd thermal bar- rier of dead air. This results inNOHeat Gain, Minimal HVAC Loss (U-factor of 0.35), NO UV Damage and
We also offer full 100% fi- nancing of everything, includ- ing the installation, so you can begin enjoying all the benefits of full daylighting with no sig- nificant up-front cost where the cost of the financing is typically right around what you’ll save in energy reductions for much better cash flow. A Greener NJ, LLC is proud to offer this tremendous ad- vancement in skylight/daylight technology to schools, gyms, continued on page 2B

people need daylight. When you go on vacation, do you typi- cally go to another building? Of course not, most people go to the beach, the mountains, a lake – outdoor activities. On the first warm day of spring, ev- eryone heads outside for lunch and people start walking, run- ning, and biking outside. Why? After being cooped up inside all winter, people can’t wait to get outside as soon as they can! Up until the late 1890’s the ONLY light humans had was daylight or fire. Edison’s inven- tion was tremendous, but what it essentially did was turn us into modern cave dwellers. You’ve heard of malnutrition. Mal-Illumination is also a critical problem that is finally becoming recognized as a sig- nificant issue. For optimal human perfor- mance – in school, at work, in retail – in any built environ- ment – we need daylight. It just makes sense. But how does one efficiently provide daylight without all the common issues like UV damage, heat gain, HVAC loss, glare, uneven light levels and a lack of functional light levels in the morning and afternoon? The answer is the SunTracker Active Skylight! After years of research and testing, Ciralight Global has perfected a new kind of skylight that overcomes ALL the problems with traditional skylights and other forms of daylighting. The SunTracker Active Sky- light features a solar powered, GPS controlled, active mirror system that brings in daylight from an hour after dawn to an hour before dusk – providing functional light levels all day, almost every day. The GPS is set for the location of installa- tion and it knows where the sun comes up. Every 10 minutes it rotates to track the sun; and at the end of the day, it rotates back to where the sun will rise tomorrow.
