[Greenbuilding] neat idea

[elitalking]

Is not this bottle through the roof similar to solatube?  In these homes, 
there are no thermal barriers to penetrate.  The roofing is a bulk moisture 
barrier (rain).  These shacks are so dark inside because they are so crowded 
together, thereby reducing the light available from windows.  For spaces in 
our buildings deep in the interior, away from windows would be an 
appropriate place to locate a daylight tube to avoid electric use during the 
day.
