Credentials Heliostates

Atel Schweiz (new Alpiq), Olten

In collaboration with the Bartenbach lighting laboratory, Lumena has implemented a daylight system at Atel in Olten. Using two heliostats, sunlight is projected via deflecting mirrors into the two atriums of the Atel building. In these atria 104 small glass prisms are installed that refract the sunlight and distribute it sideways over four floors into the adjacent interior rooms. The rooms are illuminated and sunlight in its most beautiful form enhances the quality of work. The system is absolutely maintenance-free.

Auto Küry AG Schweiz, Rüschlikon

Sunlight is guided vertically through a light dome into the reception area of the car sales building. Attractive lighting effects are achieved with dichroic glass. The light penetrating from the glass surface forms a specific colour, the reflected light the corresponding complementary colour.

Education Centre Palottis Schweiz, Schiers

Two heliostats direct sunlight via a multipart, concentrically designed deflection mirror into a vertically running light guide (heliobus), which distributes the light proportionally over two floors.

Bosporus Turkey, Istanbul

Two heliostats arranged one above the other direct sunlight onto a segmented deflecting mirror, which is fixed above a light pipe. The Light Pipe (Heliobus) transports the sunlight over a distance of 30 metres to the offices inside the building.

Coop in St. Moritz Switzerland, St. Moritz

A heliostat uses a second, fixed mirror (deflecting mirror) to direct sunlight vertically into a horizontally running light guide (heliobus), which ensures that the sales areas are illuminated with daylight.

Einkaufspassage Asamhof Deutschland, München

In the middle of Munich’s old town, in a winding shopping arcade lined with street cafés, people loll about in the warming sunlight. There stands a fountain created by the hand of an artist. 25 meters above this fountain, a light-directing heliostat stands almost vertically, which optimally illuminates this fountain.

Lichtblick AG Schweiz, Möriken

A heliostat directs sunlight via a deflecting mirror vertically through a light dome into the sales building of the company, which specialises in light and interior design. Dichroic colour filters, which are placed in the beam of light like a kaleidoscope, give the room a special, atmospheric ambience.

Natural History Museum Gaytal Park Germany, Körperich

In the middle of the low mountain range landscape of the Eifel and Ardennes lies the German-Luxembourg Nature Park. The exhibition building on the Mühlenberg near Obersgegen is designed to obtain as much energy as possible from the sun and wind. The heliostat system serves to illustrate to visitors to the information centre the ways in which the sun can be captured in buildings. (interference)

Potsdamer Platz Germany, Berlin

Three light pipes with a diameter of one meter protrude up to ten meters from the ground. A heliostat is attached to the tip of each pipe, which directs sunlight through the pipe into the underground station below.

Senior Citizens’ Centre Wiesengrund Switzerland, Winterthur

When you enter the foyer of the Wiesengrund Senior Citizens’ Centre, your gaze is immediately directed towards a vertical, oval-shaped pillar of light. The light column radiates comfort, warmth and beauty. It is fed by a heliostat mounted on the roof about 40 metres away.

0-24 Licht | Haus der Forschung Österreich, Wien

25 metres above the entrance area, a heliostat system reflects sunlight onto two Parans Solar Panels. These concentrate the sunlight by means of lenses and guide it through fibre-optic cables into the interior. The fed-in sunlight makes the ends of the optical cables glow. The project was financed by the federal real estate company «BIG Art & Architektur» in Vienna.

In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bartenbach Lichtlabor hat Lumena bei Atel in Olten ein Tageslicht-System realisiert. Mittels zweier Heliostaten wird Sonnenlicht über Umlenkspiegel in die zwei Atrien des Atel-Gebäudes geworfen. In diesen Atrien sind 104 kleine Glasprismen installiert, die das Sonnenlicht brechen und es seitwärts auf vier Stockwerke in die angrenzenden Innenräume verteilen. Die Räume werden erhellt und Sonnenlicht in seiner schönsten Form hebt die Arbeitsqualität. Die Anlage ist absolut wartungsfrei.
