SELF LIGHT HOUSE

Lightning means 4.1% of the energy and 11,7% of the electricity consumed in housing, even when low consume bulbs are introduced in 83% of the houses.


In North hemispheres, the sun always light South facades most of the say, East facades in the morning and West facades in the evening. North facades have normally reduced natural lightning, and inner rooms have no natural lighting possibilities. Therefore artificial lightning has to be used, in different rooms of the houses, even when the sun is shinning outside.


Self light walls, is a concept that introduces natural light in walls, wherever the Sun is. As you can see in the drawing below, with a mirror technology, we introduce light in a hermetic gap created in the inner wall of the house. This way, rooms with little or no natural lightning availability, will have a new lightning source.


The system can be turn off whenever the occupants want. A simple tap that can be moved from the inside of the house, closes or opens the light entry into the wall. The mirror gap, is hermetically closed by a transparent fixed tap on top of it. It also makes that the wall will be better isolated from the outside, reducing thermic gain or lose.


To summarize, the A+ House self light wall, will directly reduced artificial light consumption and will increase wall isolation, reducing heating or cooling needs. It will also create beautiful and creative walls.
