Airlight is an innovative product from Chatron that brings several advantages for use in buildings.

Some of these advantages include:

  • Natural lighting: Airlight captures natural sunlight and transmits it into buildings, which can significantly reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. In addition, natural light is healthier and can increase the productivity and well-being of building occupants.
  • Energy savings: With Airlight, it is possible to reduce electricity consumption for lighting and artificial ventilation, which can result in energy savings and cost savings.
  • Natural ventilation: Airlight also works as an outlet for hot air from inside the building, which can improve natural ventilation and fresh air circulation.
  • Thermal comfort: With the natural ventilation provided by Airlight, it is possible to maintain a cooler and more pleasant indoor environment during the summer, reducing the need for air conditioning and increasing the thermal comfort of the occupants.
  • During the winter, the Airlight has a motorized damper that can be closed (cut off the indoor/outdoor air circulation) through a transparent polycarbonate butterfly valve, allowing it to function as a Solar Tube all year round in summer and winter.
