FIELD: construction.
SUBSTANCE: skylight comprises a transparent dome, a base of a skylight shaft, a spectrally selective coating and heat transfer facilities. The base stretches from the dome and is designed to transfer light entering the dome. The coating is applied onto the inner surface of the base to reflect the visible light and to let through the infrared light. The heat transfer facilities are adjacent with the base and are designed to transfer heat from the inner to the outer surface of the base.
EFFECT: maximised quantity of visible light sent down along the tube and minimised quantity of heat sent into a room.
