Lackland Air Force Base Dormitory

The Thermal Sky skylight system features an aluminum frame with 1′ x 2′ polycarbonate panels in an internal grid pattern. The panels allow diffused natural light to enter the space while minimizing glare and heat gain that would occur with traditional glass.

By bringing ample daylight into the training area, the Crystal Structures skylight not only enhances the interior environment for the troops but also reduces the need for electric lighting, resulting in energy savings for the facility. The translucent polycarbonate panels strike an ideal balance – maximizing natural illumination while controlling solar heat gain.

With the completion of this skylight installation, Crystal Structures has demonstrated its ability to provide an effective daylighting solution that both improves interior spaces and contributes to the sustainability goals of a prominent federal project.
