YEYON Launches Jinghu Smart Skylight, Redefining Natural Light Management in Architecture
Jinan, Shandong – Shandong YEYON Door & Window Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "YEYON") officially launched its next-generation Jinghu Series Smart Skylight in 2023. Integrating YEYON’s proprietary "Luban Joinery" technique with intelligent light-sensing technology, the product enables precise control of natural light intake, enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and health benefits in architectural spaces. This breakthrough marks a significant advancement in YEYON’s building daylighting systems.
1. Technical Core: Fusion of Traditional Craftsmanship and Smart Innovation
The core technology of the Jinghu Skylight stems from YEYON’s nationally patented "Luban Joinery" process, which combines traditional Chinese mortise-and-tenon principles with modern aluminum processing. This creates a seamless framework connection without relying on screws, significantly improving structural stability and airtightness.
Building on this, YEYON’s R&D team integrated an adaptive light-sensing system. Using micro light sensors, it monitors outdoor light intensity in real-time and automatically adjusts glass transparency (range: 30%–95%), ensuring consistent, soft indoor lighting while avoiding glare. Additionally, the product employs laminated insulated tempered glass with a PVB interlayer that blocks 99% of UV radiation and enhances sound insulation to 40 dB, making it ideal for noisy urban environments.
2. Performance Advantages: Comprehensive Enhancements from Energy Savings to Health
Energy Efficiency: The smart dimming system reduces air conditioning energy consumption by 30%. Test data shows indoor temperatures remain 3–5°C lower than with conventional skylights during peak summer hours.
Health-Focused Light Management: By simulating natural light spectrum variations, the product supports circadian rhythm regulation, making it suitable for settings with high light-quality requirements, such as hospitals and schools.
Durability and Safety: The frame meets Grade 8 wind pressure resistance standards, and hidden drainage channels eliminate leakage risks in high-altitude installations.
3. Application Scenarios: Diverse Architectural Needs
The Jinghu Skylight has been successfully applied in multiple landmark projects:
Healthcare: The Jinghu Hospital campus utilizes the skylight to create "light therapy spaces," leveraging controllable natural light to aid patient recovery.
Transportation Infrastructure: High-speed rail stations along key routes incorporate Jinghu Skylights, combining "skylight maintenance mode" for efficient nighttime upkeep and daytime lighting.
High-End Residential: For villas and apartments, the product offers customizable designs (e.g., "heaven-round-earth-square" motifs) and smart home integration, allowing users to remotely control lighting via mobile apps.
4. R&D Background and Market Prospects
Since its founding in 2009, YEYON has continuously deepened its expertise in sunroom and daylighting system R&D. The Jinghu Series underwent 18 months of development with an investment exceeding CNY 10 million, partly inspired by research on the therapeutic potential of natural light. According to YEYON ’s R&D Director, first-year orders have covered over 20 provinces in China and expanded to export markets in Europe and Southeast Asia. Future plans include extending Jinghu technology to curtain wall systems, further advancing the intelligence of building envelopes.
