Angular Selective Skydome skylights

Developed in association with the Queensland University of Technology, the Angular Selective Skydome has been designed to offer a high-performance natural lighting system that captures more light from low-elevation sunshine (early morning, late afternoon and during winter), yet blocks high elevation (strong midday) sunlight – reducing heat gain and UV-ray penetration.

Featuring patented, award-wining LCP (Laser Cut Panel) technology, the Angular Selective Skydome is "solar passive" - the sunlight entering the pyramid-shaped skylight is deflected through the laser-cut panels positioned underneath the external glazing and channeled into the space below, resulting in a balanced level of light throughout the day.

The Angular Selective Skydome makes it possible to use skylights in climates where the strength of the sun had previously limited their use due to both heat gain and fading of internal fittings and fixtures.

The Angular Selective Skydome is ideally suited to flat steel roof installations. If the roof pitch exceeds 5 degrees, a hob design may be required.

Skydome’s pyramid-shaped angular selective skylight won a National Energy Award in 1996 and a Master Builders Award in 1997.
