An excellent 2.5-year investment return
S
olatube, the world’s highest performing daylighting system, has made an excellent contribution to reducing operating costs for the Spearwood Furniture and Bed Centre in Perth. Over the period between commencement in late 2012, and completion in mid-2013, Spearwood installed a total of 61 Solatube Commercial Daylighting Systems to its approximately 1600-square-metre retail premises. This has resulted in a 61 per cent reduction in average daily energy use, and has delivered a calculated return on investment of 2.5 years. Solatube is acknowledged as the world’s highest performing daylighting system, capturing and effectively delivering daylight from pre-dawn to post-dusk. It is a system that produces minimal spectral shift of light colour. This characteristic ensures consistent colour temperature throughout, and stable colour rendition across the visible light spectrum over the course of the year. For Spearwood Furniture and Bed Centre, the Solatube Commercial Daylighting System provides the pinnacle of light input, colour consistency and the desired quality of light consistency day after day for the large retail premises.
