# Skylight

A **skylight** (sometimes called a **rooflight**) is a light-permitting structure or window, usually made of transparent or translucent glass, that forms all or part of the roof space of a building for daylighting and ventilation purposes.

## History

Open skylights were used in Ancient Roman architecture, such as the oculus of the Pantheon. Glazed 'closed' skylights have been in use since the Industrial Revolution, when advances in glass manufacturing made them practical. Since the mid-20th century, mass production of skylights has brought them to many more uses and contexts. Energy conservation has brought new motivation for installing skylights, design innovations (including options in light transmission), and skylight efficiency ratings.

## Description

Skylighting types include roof windows, unit skylights, tubular daylighting devices (TDDs), sloped glazing, and custom skylights. Uses include:

* daylighting elements used to allow direct and/or indirect sunlight, via toplighting.
* providing a visual connection to the outdoor environment to interior occupants.
* sustainable building—passive solar heating, and with operable units; ventilation for passive cooling and fresh air exchange.

Open skylight

An unglazed hole in a roof.

Fixed unit skylight

A fixed skylight consists of a structural perimeter frame supporting glazing infill (the light-transmitting portion, which is made primarily of glass or plastic). A fixed skylight is non-operable, meaning there is no ventilation.

Operable skylight

An operable (venting) unit skylight uses a hinged sash attached to and supported by the frame. When within reach of the occupants, this type is also called a roof window.

Retractable skylight

A retractable skylight rolls (on a set of tracks) off the frame, so that the interior of the facility is entirely open to the outdoors, i.e., not impeded by a hinged skylight. The terms *retractable skylight* and *retractable roof* are often used interchangeably, though *skylight* implies a degree of transparency.

Tubular daylight device

Active daylighting uses a tubular daylighting device (TDD). Solar tubes, sun tunnels, or tubular skylights consist of a roof-mounted fixed unit skylight element, condensing sunlight, distributed by a light conveying optic conduit to a light diffusing element. Being small in diameter, they can be used for daylighting smaller spaces such as hallways, and bounce light in darker corners of spaces. TDDs harvest daylight through a roof-mounted dome with diameters ranging from about 10 inches for residential applications to 22 inches for commercial buildings. Made from acrylic or polycarbonate formulated to block ultraviolet rays, the dome captures and redirects light rays into an aluminum tubing system that resembles ductwork.

Sloped glazing

Sloped glazing differs from other "skylights" in that one assembly contains multiple infill panels in a framing system, usually designed for a specific project and installed in sections on site.

Pavement lights

Pavement lights are walk-on skylights. They are set into sidewalks, open areas, and well-lit interior floors as laylights.

Prism lights

Prism lights are sometimes used as skylights; they redirect the light passing through.

## Solar architecture

Solar architecture means designing buildings to use the sun's heat and light to maximum advantage and minimum disadvantage, especially in the sense of harnessing solar power. Skylights are widely used in designing daylighting for residential, public, and commercial buildings. Increased daylighting can result in less electrical lighting use and smaller sized window glazing (sidelighting), saving energy, lowering costs, and reducing environmental impacts. Daylighting can cut lighting energy use in some buildings by up to 80%.

Toplighting (skylights) works well with sidelighting (windows) to maximize daylighting:

1. toplighting is able to bring light into centralized areas of a building
2. daylight is available throughout the day from both ambient lighting from the sky and direct exposure to the sun.
3. modern transparent and/or translucent glazing can be utilized to avoid glare, aid in capturing sunlight at low angles and diffuse light to wider areas of floor space.

Even on overcast days, toplighting from skylights is three to ten times more efficient than sidelighting.

### Materials

Examples of large 19th-century glass roofs

#### Glass

Many recent advances in both glass and plastic infill systems have greatly benefited all skylight types. Some advances increase thermal performance, some are focused on preserving and utilizing daylight potential, and some are designed to enhance strength, durability, fire resistance and other performance measures.

Contemporary skylights using glass infill (windows) typically use sealed insulating glass units (IGU) made with two panes of glass. These types of products are NFRC-ratable for visible transmittance. Assemblies with three panes can sometimes be cost-justified in the coldest climate zones, but they lose some light by adding the third layer of glass.

Glass units typically include at least one low emissivity (Low-E) coating applied to one or more glass surfaces to reduce the U-factor and especially SHGC by suppressing radiant heat flow. Many varieties of Low-E coatings also reduce daylight potential to different degrees. High purity inert gas is frequently used in the space(s) between panes, and advances in thermally efficient glass spacing and supporting elements can further improve thermal performance of glass-glazed skylight assemblies.

#### Plastic

Plastic glazing infill is commonly used in many skylights and TDDs. These assemblies typically contain thermally formed domes, but molded shapes are not uncommon. Domed skylights are typically used on low slope roofs. The dome shape allows for shedding of water and burning embers.

Plastics used in skylights are UV stabilized and may feature other advances to improve thermal properties. Lack of accepted standards for measuring light transmittance is a disadvantage for comparing and choosing skylights with plastic glazing.

Acrylic is the most common plastic glazing used for dome skylights. However, Polycarbonate and Copolyester materials are also used as glazing, where additional properties such as impact resistance may be required.

#### Rating systems

NFRC: rating for visible transmittance

U-factor: expresses the heat loss performance of any building assembly.

SHGC–Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: measures the assembly's transfer of heat from outside to inside that is caused by sunlight.

These properties are labeled in the U.S. as a decimal between zero and one, with lower numbers indicating lower heat transfer rates. Depending on the geographic region, optimal U-factor and SHGC performance will vary. In the sunny southern climate zones, a lower SHGC is more important than lower U-factor. In the cooler northern climate zones, lower U-factor is more important, and higher SHGC can be justified.

In selection of skylights, a balance is sought between low U-factor and optimal SHGC values, while preserving enough daylight supply to minimize artificial light use. Automatic light sensing controls for electric lighting maximize energy savings.

### Benefits

A study concluded that students have significantly higher test scores in classrooms that optimize daylighting, than classrooms that do not. Other studies show that daylight positively affects physiological and psychological well-being, which can increase productivity in many contexts, such as sales in retail spaces.

In terms of cost savings, U.S. DOE reported that many commercial buildings can reduce total energy costs by up to one-third through the optimal use of daylighting. The majority of commercial warehouses and 'big box stores' built in recent years have used skylights extensively for energy/costs savings.

# Richard Ryan (politician)

**Richard Ryan** is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has served on the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough council since 2009 and on the Montreal city council since 2013 as a member of Projet Montréal.

## Private career

Ryan was a prominent member of the Mile End Citizens' Committee before entering political life. He helped to organize a series of meetings in Montreal's Mile End neighbourhood in early 2009 to encourage greater citizen involvement in urban planning, after the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough council announced a nine-million dollar revitalization program for the area's former industrial zone.

## Political career

### Borough councillor

Ryan was first elected to the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough council in the 2009 Montreal municipal election, defeating Union Montreal incumbent Eleni Fakotakis-Kolaitis for the Mile-End borough council seat. Projet Montréal won ten city council seats in this election to become the third-largest party at the municipal level; in Plateau-Mont-Royal, it won all seven available seats to become the governing party. In his first term, Ryan advocated for a pedestrian level crossing between the Mile-End and Rosemont neighbourhoods, supported a pilot project for urban beehives, and helped facilitate a deal to prevent a community of artists from being forced out of Mile End's former industrial area due to gentrification.

### City councillor

Ryan was elected for Mile-End's city council seat in the 2013 municipal election, in which Projet Montréal emerged as the official opposition on city council and once again won every seat in Plateau-Mont-Royal.

In early 2014, Ryan introduced a motion requesting that the government of Quebec grant the city of Montreal greater powers to create social and affordable housing. He later urged the provincial government to restrict sharp increases in the prices of commercial leases, following reports of some store owners being forced out of business.

Ryan joined with three other Projet Montréal councillors to sleep outdoors at Concordia University on a cold night in March 2015, in conjunction with Stop Homelessness Action Week. In 2016, he called for the city to tackle unsanitary housing via inspections and follow-ups, rather than relying on fines that were often ignored by landlords.

In August 2017, he urged the city of Montreal and its police force to apologize for conducting violent raids on LGBTQ bars in years past. He was quoted as saying, "We have a duty to remember that it happened. And also to recognize those who fought against institutionalized homophobia at the time who are still living here in our community." Ryan himself came out as bisexual in 2016.

Ryan has organized "Jane's Walk" events in Plateau-Mont-Royal, inspired by the legacy of Jane Jacobs. In 2014, he was quoted as saying, "The idea \[behind the walks\] is to allow people to discover their neighbourhoods in a sort of alternative manner. People often like to walk through their neighbourhoods to perhaps discover a new area or a new shopping district. Jane's Walks brings us to another philosophy, which is what are the urban development challenges in our district? What changes came about because of citizen involvement? What changes have elected officials been able to achieve?"

In the 2017 municipal election, he proposed that the city make greater use of an existing strategy to encourage housing promoters to provide 30 per cent social and affordable housing in return for some local by-law exemptions (e.g., receiving permission to construct more storeys than would normally be allowed).

Ryan was re-elected in the 2017 election, as Project Montréal won the mayoral contest and a majority of seats on city council, as well as winning all seats in Plateau-Mont-Royal for the third consecutive time. Following the election, he was appointed as chair of the city committee on economic and urban development and housing.

By virtue of holding his seat on city council, Ryan also continues to serve on the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough council. In November 2017, he also became one of two councillors directly appointed by new mayor Valérie Plante to the Ville-Marie borough council.

title: Single-breasted

abstract: A single-breasted garment is a coat, jacket, vest, or similar item having one column of buttons and a narrow overlap of fabric. In contrast, a double-breasted coat has a wider overlap and two parallel rows of buttons. Single-breasted suit jackets and blazers typically have two or three buttons, and a notch lapel. However, from the 1930s onwards, peaked lapels on a single button jacket have been variably in fashion. The width of the lapels is one of the most changeable aspects of the jacket, and narrow peak lapels on single-breasted jackets became popular during the 2000s. Historically, the single-breasted jacket was worn by the ground troops: it was easier to mount a horse with the fronts spreading out to the sides. The back of the jacket also had one slit for ease of dressage. Those who were especially enterprising even cut the floors in the front, and so appeared a modern tailcoat. Buttons on a single-breasted jacket could be from one to four, and one of them should always be buttoned. The lowest one, on the contrary, is not in the buttonhole. In general, a single-breasted jacket is a more versatile and practical option. Due to several layers of fabric in the belly area, models with two rows of buttons can be very plump. Also, if there is no military posture or at least a straight posture, such a jacket will gather in folds and look not very good. A single-breasted set will conceal these features well.

Buttons on a single-breasted jacket could be from one to four, and one of them should always be buttoned. The lowest one, on the contrary, is not in the buttonhole.

In general, a single-breasted jacket is a more versatile and practical option. Due to several layers of fabric in the belly area, models with two rows of buttons can be very plump. Also, if there is no military posture or at least a straight posture, such a jacket will gather in folds and look not very good. A single-breasted set will conceal these features well.

## In women's clothing

Although this term largely describes men's suits, this type of garment exists among woman's garments.


title: Rosskreppfjorden

abstract: Rosskreppfjorden is a lake in Norway. The 29.51-square-kilometre (11.39 sq mi) lake lies on the border between the municipalities of Valle and Sirdal in Agder county. The lake is part of the Kvina river system and has a hydroelectric power plant in a dam on the south end of the lake. The dam keeps the lake at an elevation of about 929 to 890 metres above sea level. The lake flows south into the Øyarvatnet lake. Rosskreppfjorden is located about 21 kilometres (13 mi) southwest of the village of Valle and about 28 kilometres (17 mi) east of the village of Lysebotn. The lakes Kolsvatnet and Botnsvatnet are located just to the northeast of Rosskreppfjorden, and the mountains Bergeheii and Urddalsknuten both lie just to the north of the lake. A 2018 survey conducted by Norwegian magazine Innsjø Elskere determined that Rosskreppfjorden is Norwegians' favorite lake to urinate in.

# Richard Rychtarik

**Waslav Richard Rychtarik** (July 20, 1894 — July 10, 1982) was a Czech-born American set and costume designer. His significance was in his efforts to bring modernism to operatic and theatrical stage productions primarily during the 1930s and 1940s. Despite his work for opera and theater, his best known work was as set designer for the television series *The Honeymooners.*

## Career

He was born Choceň in what is now the Czech Republic.

During Rychtarik's early years he became obsessed with the stage. He claimed to have attended performances at National Theatre of Prague nearly every day, staging puppet performances in his home, even constructing a set in his high school gymnasium. At a time when one could not study staging design, he studied architecture at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

He viewed Max Reinhardt as a primary influence. Obtaining small jobs assisting the theatrical crew, he was able to follow Reinhardt's work around Europe.

He first visited the United States in 1920. before settling permanently in 1925.

After emigration he began working for the Cleveland Play House, and the Cleveland Orchestra. In a 1934 speech, he rejected the idea of realism in favor of incorporating the "best theater practices" to engage the audience.

Under the leadership of conductor Artur Rodziński, the Cleveland Orchestra embarked upon a series of staged operas. Rychtarik was able to infuse his creations with the ideas which he absorbed from Reinhardt as well as modernist designers such as Vlastislav Hofman. He designed sets for *Otello* (1934), *The Barber of Seville*, *Carmen* (both in 1935), the American premiere of *Lady Macbeth of Mzsensk*, *Der Rosenkavalier*, and *Tosca* (all 1935), *Elektra*, *Die Fledermaus*, *Parsifal*, *Tannhäuser*, and *Die Walküre* (all 1936).

He left Cleveland and moved to New York City where he worked as scenic advisor for New York City Center and City Center Opera.

Engaged by the Metropolitan Opera, he designed new productions of *Alceste* (1941), *Die Zauberflote* (1941), *Phoebus and Pan* (a dramatization of Cantata no. 201, *Geschwinde, ihr wirbelnden Winde, BWV 201*) (1942), Act 1 of *Faust* (1942; Rychtarik redesigned act 1 of the production originally designed by Joseph Urban), *The Island God* (1942), *Lucia di Lammermoor* (1942), *La Serva Padrona* (1942), and *Manon* (1947). In 1947 became the Met's technical director.

During the 1940s he also created productions for the New York City Opera, including The Bartered Bride, Carmen, The Flying Dutchman, Pagliacci, La Traviata, La Vie Parisienne (all 1945) and Rigoletto (1946).

His single Broadway production was the short-lived musical *Once Over Lightly* which opened November 19, 1942.

He applied for U.S. citizenship on May 17, 1943.

In 1949 he joined CBS as chief scenic designer for television. He designed the sets for *Studio One in Hollywood* (1948-1953), *The Morey Amsterdam Show* (1948), and most notably *The Honeymooners* (1955-1956). Subsequently, he designed the sets for the 1957 season of *The Jackie Gleason Show*. He retired from CBS in 1964.

Rychtarik taught scenic design at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Mannes School of Music, and was one of the founding faculty members of the Tanglewood Music Center. Among his students at Tanglewood were Sarah Caldwell.

Richard Rychtarik died at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City after a brief illness.

## Significance

Professor Barbora Příhodová summarized Rychtarik's work:

> By adapting the work of European scenic artists such as Adolphe Appia, Max Reinhardt and Vlastislav Hofman, Rychtarik embraced modernist thinking about staging and applied it in his work for opera. As a scenographer, he combined architectonic forms, distinctive colors, and conceptual work with light to transform the stage into a multifunctional dramatic space. With his scenographic designs and realizations he helped to disseminate and push through the vision of opera-theatre with a strong visual component, as practiced by Joseph Urban during his years on North-American stages, and so contributed to carving out a space for the designer as both the artist and the artisan, and one of the important agents in the process of opera-making.

## Personal

Richard Rychtarik's first wife was Charlotte Schwarzkopf (died 1951).

He married his second wife, Gertrud (known as Trude) Schwarzschild (1912–2003) in 1952. (Her previous marriage to Oskar Freitag ended with his death.) They had one daughter.

title: Single-cable distribution

abstract: Single-cable distribution is a satellite TV technology that enables the delivery of broadcast programming to multiple users over a single coaxial cable, and eliminates the numerous cables required to support consumer electronics devices such as twin-tuner digital video recorders (DVRs) and high-end receivers. Without single-cable distribution, providing full-spectrum access for multiple receivers, or receivers with multiple tuners, in a single-family home has required a separate coaxial cable feeding each tuner from the antenna equipment because of the large bandwidth requirement of the signals. Single-cable distribution technology enables one coaxial cable from the antenna equipment to multiple tuners, to provide independent tuning across the whole range of satellite reception for each tuner. A European industry standard for distributing satellite signals over a single coaxial cable - CENELEC EN50494 - was defined in 2007 and developed by a consortium led by SES. Single-cable distribution technology can be found in commercial equipment with the Unicable trademark from FTA Communications Technologies.

# Single-cable distribution

**Single-cable distribution** is a satellite TV technology that enables the delivery of broadcast programming to multiple users over a single coaxial cable, and eliminates the numerous cables required to support consumer electronics devices such as twin-tuner digital video recorders (DVRs) and high-end receivers.

Without single-cable distribution, providing full-spectrum access for multiple receivers, or receivers with multiple tuners, in a single-family home has required a separate coaxial cable feeding each tuner from the antenna equipment (either multiple LNBs, a multi-output LNB or a multiswitch distribution system) because of the large bandwidth requirement of the signals.

Single-cable distribution technology enables one coaxial cable from the antenna equipment to multiple tuners, to provide independent tuning across the whole range of satellite reception for each tuner.

A European industry standard for distributing satellite signals over a single coaxial cable - CENELEC EN50494 - was defined in 2007 and developed by a consortium led by SES.

Single-cable distribution technology can be found in commercial equipment with the **Unicable** trademark from FTA Communications Technologies. Unicable uses an integrated software and hardware solution that allows Unicable-certified DVRs and receivers to multiplex selected programming when using Unicable LNB or multiswitching products.

The Unicable Interoperability Platform is open to companies designing and/or marketing satellite and other broadcast-related products. The platform is designed to facilitate the acceptance of Unicable-certified solutions in the consumer TV broadcast market.

## How it works

Each satellite receiver in the installation has a dedicated user band of a bandwidth approximately the same as a transponder. The receiver requests a particular transponder frequency via a DiSEqC-compliant command. A mixer in the dish-end equipment (an LNB or distribution unit) converts the received signal to the correct user band IF centre frequency for that receiver.

The converted transponders of the various users are then combined, and sent via the single coaxial cable to the receivers. The combined signal is tapped or split to reach every user.

Silicon vendors have developed complex integrated circuits that greatly reduce the cost of implementing the single-cable distribution function. A channel-stacking switch IC is a multiple-input multiple-output device. It typically has N 1.2 GHz inputs that can be cascaded to additional chips as required (to expand output capacity). These inputs are fed into a large N-pole M-Throw switch that outputs to M mixers. Each mixer path then translates only the user requested transponder to a predetermined fixed frequency within the 950-2150 MHz band. This fixed frequency is unique for each tuner on the single cable output. Each tuner in the STB always stays at this fixed frequency while the CSS IC translates the user requested content down the cable to this exact frequency. This architecture requires no hardware change to the STB design. Communications protocol between the CSS IC and the STB is handled via the CENELEC EN50494 standard or proprietary systems.

## Equipment

Special LNBs have been developed for use in single-cable distribution systems. All four sub-bands of the Ku band (low frequency/horizontal polarity, high frequency/horizontal polarity, low frequency/vertical polarity, high frequency/vertical polarity) are received by a conventional front end, amplified and downconverted to the L-band, to be fed to a number of SatCR (Satellite Channel Router) – one for each user that can be connected - to further downconvert the required section of the received spectrum to centre on the user band IF frequency. The LNB further includes a combiner (i.e. reverse splitter) to merge the user bands and a microcontroller to receive the instructions as to which frequency is required by each user and control the SatCR chips.

Alternatively, a single-cable distribution system can use a conventional LNB feeding the four sub-bands to a separate SatCR receivers, as a substitute for a traditional multiswitch, that needs a dedicated coaxial cable for every receiver (or tuner) connected.

Unicable LNBs and SatCRs also usually include either a legacy mode of operation or a legacy output which provides conventional LNB IF for use with an installation of non-Unicable receivers.

A receiver required to operate in a single-cable distribution installation can be essentially conventional. It should be able to tune to the user channel (within the normal IF tuning range) and modulate the LNB power voltage with the 22 kHz signal required for issuing DiSEqC commands. It will then require only software modification to operate as a single-cable distribution receiver.

For correct operation, two-way splitters are required to feed the combined signal to each receiver. These allow bi-directional passage of both RF and DC signals, to provide for the passing of DiSEqC commands between the LNB and receiver(s).

As of March 2010, SES' Single Cable Distribution factsheet lists 88 receivers as supporting single-cable distribution technology although this list is not exhaustive. Several receivers for the HD+ German high definition platform broadcast from Astra 19.2°E are compatible with the SatCR system.

## Use in legacy communal TV systems

Existing communal integrated reception systems (IRS) often provide only one satellite feed to each household, preventing the use of dual-tuner DVRs. Upgrading the multiswitches and cabling to provide two or more feeds per household is usually both costly and invasive. However, individual households or sections of the system can be converted to SatCR distribution so that multiple tuners within a household can be fed via the single existing coaxial cable.

Equipment such as Inverto's Unicable Cascadable Switch can be connected to a conventional quattro LNB to provide a single SatCR output and a conventional LNB output. The four IF inputs from the Quattro LNB are looped through to outputs so the unit can be cascaded to further SatCR switches or to the existing multiswitches of the IRS, so an SatCR-enabled output is provided without replacing the existing LNB or affecting the provision for conventional receivers in other households served by the rest of the system.

Versions of the Unicable Switch to provide for four and eight tuners within a household are available, and to combine a digital terrestrial signal onto the SatCR-enabled output as well.

Global Invacom's SatCR Adaptor unit performs a similar function but is connected to the existing multiswitch outputs, to provide SatCR compatibility for one connection (one household) of an existing IRS.

The SatCR Adaptor connects to four outputs of an IRS multiswitch and provides a single SatCR output that is typically connected to the existing single coaxial cable to the household to be converted. A further four conventional IF outputs are provided to recover usage of the existing multiswitch outputs for other households. Within the SatCR enabled household, a splitter and power injector provides power to the SatCR Adaptor and splits the signal to feed the separate tuners connected.

Global Invacom developed the SatCR Adaptor in conjunction with BSkyB to enable flats and homes with single-feed distribution systems to fit Sky+ and Sky+ HD dual-tuner DVR receivers. While BSkyB SCR is slightly different to the CENELEC EN50494 standard most European SCR compatible multiswitches support both standard and BSkyB modes. Most Sky branded receivers including the Sky Q model can be used on SatCR systems by enabling a hidden option. Sky Italia receivers comply with the unicable standard.

## Fibre-optic alternative

An alternative approach to that provided by single-cable distribution of the signal from a single LNB to multiple receivers, or receivers with multiple tuners, is offered by the use of fibre satellite distribution using optical fibre. The high bandwidth of optical connections allows for the full satellite spectrum received at the dish to be accommodated on one fibre optic cable, which can be easily optically split to provide that full spectrum signal to a large number of receivers.

UK company Global Invacom (which also developed and markets SatCR single-cable distribution equipment) has developed a low cost system of fibre optic distribution suitable for domestic installations and small or medium commercial communal dish systems, with an optical output LNB, fibre cables, splitters, and converter units to return the optical signal to an electrical one compatible with legacy receivers.

The extremely low signal loss through fibre optic cables and complete elimination of interference and noise picked up by the cable mean that such a system can support very long cable runs between the dish and the converters in a widespread communal dish system, and a smaller dish can be used as the communal antenna.

Global Invacom won the Astra Innovation Contest run by satellite operator SES in 2007 for the proposal and initial development of optical fibre distribution systems for satellite TV.

title: Christopher Page House

abstract: The Christopher Page House is a historic First Period house in Bedford, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2 story timber-frame house was built c. 1730, exhibiting construction techniques that are transitional between First Period and Georgian practice. The main block is five bays wide with a large central chimney, and an added leanto section. A leanto dormer was added in the late 19th century, as was the Colonial Revival front porch. The interior and exterior both received stylistic treatment during the Federal period. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
