TUBZZZ AND THE ENVIRONMENT The average household pumps 7.4 metric tonnes (16,290 lbs) of CO2 to our atmosphere per year by electricity alone! Considering excessive amounts co2 are the catalysts behind some of the most heinous natural disasters in recent history, it is in our best interest to find ways of ridding the atmosphere of the overkill. It may sound crazy that electricity is a contributing factor but it is. Check out these facts: * Spain - 57% * UK - 73% * Netherlands - 90% * Poland - 98%
ECOLOGY OF ILLUMINATION Sunlight plays a very important role in any person's life. We cannot live or work without it! But, what is the impact of one additional bulb on the natural environment? The ecology of illumination is composed of three primary apects: Economical, Environmental, and Physiological.ENVIRONMENTAL: Every source of electrical light produces some quantity of electrical energy. The production of energy still emits very strong pollutants into the natural environment. We can use less energy by using highly efficient sources of light. That's why Sun Tubes are a perfect solution for this problem.All Tubzzz are constructed using recycled materials. We use PMMA, ABS, and polyester foil. These are materials which are easily recycled. So Tubzzz are an environmentally friendly product.ECONOMICAL: This is the easy part. Installing Tubzzz as a lighting alternative not only lowers our co2 emissions, it saves you bucks on your electric bill. There is an economic incentive and a feel good factor in one- or more- Tubzzz.PHYSIOLOGY: The trend in illumination is to design a light system which is more like natural light. We channel the actual sunlight inside by a sunpipe. With help from Tubzzz we can receive natural sunlight indoors. By channeling natural sunlight Tubzzz lessen the effects of seasonal depression and they are favourable for houseplants. (Exposre to natural light triggers the increased productionof the feel-good brain chemical seratonin which helps ward off depression) |
