Abstract: An indirect light skydome with natural ventilation for building roofs consists a half sphere dome with a curved brim (101) and an air vent (102) around the dome (100), which attached to the horizontal circular base (6) with a fan shape opening to allow only indirect sunlight and connected to the tube for light transmission inside the building. The dome (100) is divided into transparent part (1) for receiving only indirect light and opaque part (2) for direct light protection, which are made into a single dome using a coating technique to prevent rainwater leakage in the joints. The shading part and the fan shape opening correspond to the sun's angle for effective direct light protection during the daytime and all year round. The air vent (102) is designed for effective air flow for stack and cross ventilation in all directions. The indirect light skydome with natural ventilation helps to reduce heat and increase quality of daylight.

Abstract: A solar shading panel for use in north and south sides of a building is described, where the solar shading panel is effective in preventing against direct sunlight partially or throughout the year without angle adjusting equipment, while allowing building occupants to perceive external views at all times. The solar shading panel includes a frame and an opaque panel with spacing perforates attached to hollow cylinders. An upper portion of the hollow cylinders can be configured to protect against direct light and a lower portion of the hollow cylinders can be configured to receive and reflect natural light into the building.
