Natural light was brought into the inner rooms of Södertälje Hospital using the GK-Parans natural sunlight system collector with sunlight luminaires.

CHALLENGE

The radiology department at Södertälje Hospital was, like many workplaces, lacking access to daylight. The placement in the centre of a large building made it impossible to install windows in all rooms, and the people occupying the rooms did not get enough sunlight.

SOLUTION

On one of the facades, a GK-Parans natural sunlight system collector was placed to harvest natural sunlight. The light was then lead about ten meters into the massive building, by the thin GK-Parans cables. Inside, a serie of L1 luminaires distribute the light and keep the staff in touch with the outside world. The can experience the change of weather and how the day passes by, even without windows.

“The result is brilliant”, says Rolf Skuncke, chief physician at the radiology department at Södertälje Hospital.
