Daylight plays a crucial role in Passivhaus construction, providing several key benefits:
Energy Efficiency: Maximising natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting, lowering energy consumption and costs.
Comfort: Well-lit spaces enhance occupant comfort and well-being, creating a more pleasant living and working environment.
Health Benefits: Access to natural light can improve mood and productivity, and exposure to daylight has been linked to better health outcomes.
Visual Aesthetics: Daylight can enhance the visual appeal of a space, making it feel more open and inviting.
Thermal Performance: Properly designed daylighting can contribute to passive solar heating, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Reduced Glare: Thoughtful window placement and shading can minimize glare, improving visibility and comfort.
Sustainability: Using natural light supports sustainable building practices, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
Connection to Nature: Daylight fosters a connection to the outdoors, promoting a sense of well-being and enhancing the overall living experience.
Incorporating these elements into Passivhaus design not only supports energy goals but also enriches the quality of life for occupants.

Powerdaylight Tubular Daylighting for Passive Homes
Bring natural light deep into your home – without compromising energy performance.
Building or living in a passive house means carefully selecting every component for optimal energy efficiency, airtightness, and comfort. The Powerdaylight tubular daylighting system is engineered to meet the demanding standards of passive house design. It delivers abundant natural daylight to interior spaces where windows or skylights are often impractical – such as hallways, bathrooms, or centrally located living areas – all while maintaining exceptional thermal performance and airtight integrity.
Future-Ready Design
The Powerdaylight system supports the core principles of sustainable, low-energy, and future-proof building. With a modular structure and compact design, it integrates seamlessly into any passive home – whether new-build or retrofit.

Natural Light Without Heat Loss
The Powerdaylight system features a highly reflective interior surface that channels daylight deep into the home, with tube lengths of up to 20 meters. With insulation values reaching U = 0.6 W/m²K, it fully aligns with passive house requirements.
The installation is airtight by design, preventing unwanted air leakage – a critical factor in homes using balanced ventilation or heat recovery systems (HRV/ERV).
