Is the Arched Daylighting and Smoke Exhaust Skylight Worth Installing? A Functional Analysis

Release time:
Ventilation, daylighting, and fire safety remain core demands for industrial plants. As a multifunctional building component, does the arched daylighting and smoke exhaust skylight offer sufficient installation value? Below is a comprehensive analysis from the perspectives of functional practicality, cost-effectiveness, and safety compliance to address this question.

I. Daylighting Function

The arched structural design provides inherent advantages in daylighting. The curved roof surface can capture natural light from various angles, effectively increasing the daylighting area compared to traditional flat skylights and significantly reducing dependence on artificial lighting during daytime. Additionally, high-quality arched daylighting and smoke exhaust skylights utilize high-transmittance FRP daylighting panels or PC hollow polycarbonate sheets as windowpane materials. These materials offer uniform light transmission and UV resistance, ensuring effective daylighting while minimizing glare caused by direct sunlight, thereby enhancing workplace comfort.

II. Smoke Exhaust, Ventilation, and Safety Assurance

In emergencies such as fires, the arched electric daylighting and smoke exhaust skylight can be quickly opened via electric control. The upward-opening skylight achieves an opening angle of over 80°, while the side-opening arched electric daylighting and smoke exhaust skylight reaches 70°, ensuring smooth smoke exhaust channels. This allows for the rapid expulsion of thick smoke and toxic gases, providing valuable time for evacuation. In daily use, the side-opening arched electric skylight can also facilitate natural ventilation through the stack effect, expelling high temperatures, dust, and harmful gases from the workshop. This improves indoor air quality and reduces the energy consumption of ventilation equipment.

III. Cost-Effectiveness and Durability

Constructed with a steel frame and corrosion-resistant materials, the skylight demonstrates strong resistance to wind, rain, and snow, making it adaptable to various climatic conditions. With a service life of up to 15 years and low long-term maintenance costs, the initial installation investment is justified by long-term benefits. These include energy savings from reduced lighting and ventilation expenses, as well as minimized risks such as fire-related penalties and potential losses from injuries or fatalities. Overall, the skylight offers high comprehensive cost-effectiveness.

In summary, for large-span industrial and public buildings with high demands, the arched daylighting and smoke exhaust skylight demonstrates significant functional adaptability and comprehensive benefits.
