Ilua Light & Energy
Ilua Light & Energy is our development strand for passive use of light and energy. We work with photonics: how materials and geometry can guide, distribute and modify light.
Spectral shifting
We investigate films and surfaces that can change parts of the sunlight spectrum. Other strands include diffuse and photoselective materials and optical geometry for low sun angles.
From materials to use
The work connects material selection, light conditions and applications in cultivation and spaces. Arctic ilua is one possible application; light and energy also develops as an independent field.
The next work
Next steps are technical feasibility, material selection and focused trials. Light distribution, transmission losses, durability and actual effects need investigation. We do not yet have our own validated results for the photonic solutions.
