Solatube Daylighting Systems were used in the Vista,
CA Headquarters to reduce utility costs and provide
better working conditions for employees.

and warehouse areas of the facility to decrease energy consumption
by reducing the need forelectric lighting while increasing the quality
and quantityof light available to employees.

Solution
Solatube International, Inc.
combined forces with Southern California Roofing
to retrofit the manufacturing, shipping, and warehouse
areas of this 60,000 square foot high-bay facility.
The results were phenomenal. Without having to interrupt
the work going on in the facility, the employees
were immediately excited to see daylight displace
the need for the electric lights. As soon as photocontrols
were installed and a dedicated phone line was set
up with the local utility to monitor electric consumption
throughout the building, Aqua Lung noticed an immediate
site-wide electricity consumption reduction of 33%.
Testimonial
“We selected Solatube
because the product quality and pricing was right.
It is certainly an effective product for lighting
manufacturing facilities and it will pay for itself
over a short time. Plus, the employees respond positively
to the natural light.”
