The latest addition to Monodraught’s SunPipe is the 1000 mm Diamond Dome model, which has already been installed on two buildings in a science park. It is designed to provide more light, especially in buildings with higher ceilings such as sports centres and retail outlets, which are increas­ingly being designed with ceiling heights of 12 m or more. The 1000 mm model is calculated to achieve a 70% improvement in performance at a height of 12 m compared to the 750 mm model.
