Utilising fresh, natural light with Solatube skylights  

Utilising fresh, natural light with Solatube skylights transforming environments, making them vibrant and alive. The sleek design of Solatube skylights complements the aesthetic of the South Whittier Library perfectly, creating an inviting atmosphere. These skylights provide a convenient way to introduce natural light into the building, illuminating spaces without the need for artificial lighting. This not only enhances the library's ambiance but also offers significant energy savings over time. 

Illuminating spaces without artificial lighting 

Library patrons particularly appreciate the natural lighting, which is especially beneficial in a reading environment. The South Whittier Library, one of the largest in the supervisor's district, aims for LEED Platinum certification, prioritising daylight and daylight harvesting in its design strategy. Solatube skylights have been integral to achieving these goals, fitting seamlessly into the library's design and enhancing its overall vision. 

Innovative design elements 

One notable design element includes the "braille on the bookshelves" concept, which pairs beautifully with the circular diffusers, bringing a cohesive look to the space. Some Solatube skylights are arranged in a constellation pattern, with the round diffusers enhancing this theme. A project like this promises a significant positive impact on the community, establishing Solatube as the gold standard for tubular skylights.
