Beyond Smoke Ventilation: The Multifunctional Role of C2T Linear Electric Smoke Ventilation & Daylighting Skylights

Release time:
As a critical component of building fire safety, the C2T Linear Electric Smoke Ventilation & Daylighting Skylight is essential for its ability to open automatically during a fire, efficiently removing smoke and heat. However, in non-emergency daily operation, the C2T skylight also offers excellent daylighting and energy-saving performance.

I.  Daylighting Function
The skylight's panes are typically constructed from high-quality FRP daylighting panels or polycarbonate sheets, known for their high light transmittance and strong weather resistance. These materials effectively channel soft, natural light indoors, directly replacing or supplementing artificial lighting during daytime hours. The linear, strip-like design of the C2T skylight allows for uniform, wide-area coverage of light across the central zones of industrial plants, effectively reducing areas of shadow and poor illumination.

Compared to some artificial light sources, stable natural lighting aligns better with human physiological visual preferences, effectively reducing eye strain and enhancing operator comfort and concentration. A bright, naturally lit environment also helps boost employee morale and overall work efficiency.

II.  Energy-Saving Function
By maximizing natural daylight, artificial lighting systems in the core areas of a plant can be completely or partially switched off for most of the daylight hours. For industrial facilities with long operational hours and high-power lighting installations, installing linear automatic smoke ventilation skylights can lead to significant savings on electricity costs. Over time, these savings become substantial and can quickly offset a portion of the initial investment in the skylights.

In daily operation mode, the C2T skylight can be electrically opened for ventilation. Utilizing the thermal pressure difference (stack effect) created within the building, it effectively expels accumulated indoor smoke, dust, and waste heat without relying on external mechanical or electrical force for this routine ventilation.

In summary, the C2T Linear Electric Smoke Ventilation & Daylighting Skylight not only safeguards lives and property in critical moments but also, through the abundant introduction of natural light, consistently contributes to reducing operational costs and optimizing the work environment for industrial facilities day in and day out.
