EcoNation Information

Belgian business EcoNation has developed the ‘LightCatcher’, the first active and intelligent daylight system in the world. The Lightcatcher can provide enough light for 100% of the floor with only 1% tot 3% of the roof space of a building opened. The system also allows light fittings to be switched off for up to 3.650 hours per year, which has an eight times bigger impact on the environment than solar panels. This new business model can lower EcoNation clients’ energy cost immediately without any upfront investment. LightCatcher is now used in 15 countries in both industrial and public buildings. The ecological footprint of the LightCatcher is 6.17 times smaller than traditional alternatives such a skylights.
