The concept is simple, inclined reflective panels at the edge of one roof redirect sunlight to another building. The sunlight becomes a controllable asset, and there are many benefits: free solar gains and natural light.
The system redirects daylight towards the openings of a building (windows and others) to increase the solar thermal gain and thus reduce the building's heating consumption. This reflective panel is installed on the roof's edge or in the upper part of a facade where the solar illumination has no daily calorific interest. It allows passive control of the sunlight's direction.
No motorization, no electricity, the product is a simple glass frame firmly attached to a facade. We can change the orientation angle of the frame with a bolt. It is designed to facilitate its installation and its durability.
Concept
In a nutshell
LightMirror is a low-tech solar panel that does not produce electricity but reduces your energy consumption
GIS and big-data computation
A 3D city modelling study, with a simulation of the direct sunlight on facades, is used to help the authorities and the residents accept the project. The aim is to quantify direct sunlight and solar heat loss at each building in a city.
Interpretations of the data are rich:
-
cartography of the houses that do not receive solar heat through their windows and have energy precariousness
-
reduction of neighbourhood conflicts due to a sunlight shadowing
-
identification of areas where direct solar radiation is unnecessary and placement of the reflective panels to redirect the sunlight
-
calculation of the energy saved by residents and their new daylight factor
Our Services
We assist healthcare buildings in designing brighter and sunnier rooms while reducing their heating needs.
Feasibility study
Our Feasibility Study offers a comprehensive assessment of your building and its surroundings. We create a detailed plan including a product specification, technology selection, and a roadmap for implementation. This study provides clear answers on the product's appearance, functionality, and cost.
Feasibility study
Prototyping
We create physical prototypes that highlight the unique features and benefits of our product. Our team prepares an in-depth product specification, conducts an analysis of potential thermal gain, and quantifies the anticipated increase in natural daylight in your space. The prototypes are designed to give you a tangible representation of the product.
End-to-end product development
We provide a holistic service that takes you from the initial concept to the final installation of the reflective panels. We manage the entire process, coordinating with all partners involved, and ensure that the design is optimized to fit into your building's facade or roof, transforming your space into a brighter, more energy-efficient environment.
