     SKYLIGHTS AVAILABLE TO WITHSTAND HURRICANE WINDS

     Solar Energy Solutions offers ENERGY-STAR™ approved insulated glass skylights designed to meet stringent building code requirements for high velocity hurricane zones.
The skylights, available from Solar Energy Solutions meet the requirements of the International Building Code – Commercial (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), the Florida Building Code 2004, and the stringent high-velocity hurricane protocols for Dade Country, Florida.
     Florida has in effect building codes that identify specific areas prone to intense winds related to hurricanes (120 mph or higher), which require “Wind-Borne Debris Protection.” In order for skylights, windows, or doors to be installed in these areas, they must meet certain impact test requirements.
     Seth Levy of Solar Energy Solutions says that the VELUX Impact model skylights his company markets and installs provide the benefits insulated glass skylights offer, plus an added sense of security. “These skylights provide protection and peace-of-mind no matter how demanding the applicable codes may be,” he says.

     SOLAR ENERGY SOLUTIONS INSTALLS TUBULAR SKYLIGHTS IN SPACES THAT NEED MORE PASSIVE NATURAL LIGHT

     Solar Energy Solutions offers homeowners a quick and effective way to bring more passive natural light into areas of the home that, until recently, haven’t been candidates for skylights. Passive light emits very little heat compared to that from electrical lighting and other light sources. It is a form of natural light that is becoming more popular in the age of Green building.

     "Tubular skylights are particularly useful in smaller interior areas including hallways, laundry rooms, closets, and some bathrooms,” according to Seth Levy of Solar Energy Solutions. “They capture light very efficiently through a clear, weatherproof dome on the roof. The light travels into the home through highly reflective tubing, ending at a diffuser in the ceiling that looks like a traditional in-ceiling light fixture.”
