Energy savings, ample visual comfort, more quality of life at work, and reduced operating costs are some of the advantages of investing in domus for roofing.
This daylighting solution is becoming an indispensable item in the industrial projects of sustainable architecture, also helping to boost employee productivity.
Want to understand how it works? Read on, learn all the benefits of daylighting domus and learn how to choose the best option for your plant!
Why should you invest in a domus for roofing your industry today?
Designers who prioritize sustainable solutions find in the daylighting domus an option with excellent return. After all, the energy savings generated by the solution allows, in the medium to long term, the plant to achieve energy efficiency and thus be considered a reference when it comes to industrial sustainability.
In addition, the domus for roofing demands little maintenance, which is very important from the company's budgeting point of view, because there will be no high cost to keep them running at high performance.
As for luminous efficiency, the prismatic polycarbonate dome presents maximum performance, because the microprisms that make up the plates allow for a wide range of lighting in the shed, bringing visual comfort and making certain activities that require careful lighting safer. The place remains illuminated in a uniform and strategic way for an average of eight hours a day, without directly affecting the collaborators and without letting dangerous radiation pass through.
What is linear domus and what are the types of materials?
Linear domes are roof structures that have the objective of favoring the entrance of natural light in the plant to combine thermal-visual comfort and energy savings. They can be manufactured in fiberglass, acrylic, prismatic polycarbonate, or honeycomb polycarbonate.
In terms of cost-benefit, the option for the polycarbonate dome is the one that pays off the most, because this material enhances natural lighting even more, allowing the sunlight to radiate for a longer radius. In addition, this material is also advantageous in terms of resistance, durability, and aesthetics, because it has a cleaner design.
In which locations can the domus be installed?
The daylighting dome can be installed on any type of roof, new or pre-existing. The installation is done by means of adjustable clips that prevent the structure from suffering the effects of dilatation.
Another advantage is that roof domes are totally watertight solutions, that is, they have maximum sealing, so as not to generate problems such as infiltration or dripping. Therefore, even in the case of major storms and climate changes, the system does not generate losses.
Domus for roofing favor only natural lighting?
Although natural lighting is the main objective of the linear dome, the solution can also count on a complementary system for natural ventilation, the LanterDomus. Thus, in addition to gaining uniform and efficient lighting, the shed also gains thermal comfort and air quality, which is essential for the health and well-being of employees in the industry.
What are the main advantages of linear domus?
We have seen that the domus for roofing brings together a number of advantages due to its sustainable character and high performance. We have summarized the main ones below.
Energy Savings
With the installation of the domus, the luminosity in the shed will be as efficient as possible, without the need for artificial lamps during most of the workday.
Another possibility is to install a complementary system to the domus, such as the MB Smart, which dims the LEDs according to the entry of natural light into the warehouse, thus helping to reduce electricity consumption and configure the lighting according to the needs of each environment in the factory.
Quality of life at work
One of the immediate results of the installation of domus for roofing is the quality of life at work. After all, a visually comfortable shed with incidence of natural light contributes to the safety, well-being and health of employees. This favors the group's productivity, which, in turn, boosts the industry's revenue and income.
Check out this success story and see how the natural lighting domus transformed the day to day life at the Postes Roma shed, combining industrial sustainability and high productivity!
Reduction of operational costs
In addition to saving electricity, installing the daylighting dome optimizes the plant's budget resources because the system operates at high performance without requiring constant maintenance. The installation is also not complex or time consuming.
We only emphasize that there is a need for periodic cleaning of the translucent sheets to remove accumulated dust, so that the domus does not lose its luminous capacity. This cleaning must be carried out by properly trained professionals.
How to choose the right domus for your project?
The main care in choosing the right dome is to count on specialized suppliers, considering that the choice of materials and the sizing of the solution will depend on certain particularities of each shed. Only qualified professionals can rigorously evaluate these issues, in order to design a solution with maximum performance and guaranteed return.
