Project Description

Using the current available technology for sunlight harvesting, was found a way to incorporate daylight into current housing complexes that are lacking of it. Guiding light through optic fibers, which are guided at the same time by ventilation ducts, it is possible to illuminate rooms that are usually left in the dark, such as common bathrooms and hallways. Making an investment by the community, with or without help of others institutions, they can reduce their electricity costs in the long term and improve their living quality
