Sun Pipe EcoPark Administration Building was installed with 29 sun pipes which bring natural daylight into the interior space of building from the roof top. Sun pipe is energy free. The dome top of sun pipe can avoid the accumulation of dirt and condensation problems. Its aluminum interior has a mirror effect which intensifies and reflects natural daylight to the Visitor Center, meeting room and office inside the Administration Building. Light is evenly diffused indoor by a translucent plate fitted at the base of each sun pipe through the ceiling. As a result, sun pipes effectively lower the demand on artificial lighting and save energy. On a sunny day, they could be as bright as spotlights!
