Challenge
A residential client approached Solar Innovations® to design and install a skylight on their existing sunroom in Brooklyn, New York. The sunroom is located next to a city backstreet, and the client was looking for a design that would maximize the positive effects of daylighting while avoiding the unappealing views of the adjacent street. The client came to Solar Innovations® for a skylight design that would allow natural light to illuminate their home even when the sunroom curtains were drawn in order to maintain privacy in the residence.The design would be required to operate easily to allow fresh air into the space and maintain comfortable temperature levels in all seasons. In addition to these requirements, the skylight would need to retain a weather-tight seal when closed in case of inclement weather.Solution
