Looking to see if anyone has tried this idea. Plan is to open the top floor of the house with skylights or light tunnels to permit natural light with a supplement of CFL's for early morning and evening. Will have 90% of roof opened, just looking for feedback on this as a viable solution.

Have a couple of reasons for this option. Main reason is that our home is powered by renewable energy sources, wind and solar. We really need to have a good handle on our power consumption, and see this as a way to stay lean and green. Not to mention keeping us off grid while offering a controlled environment in which to grow year round.

Dam us old skool hippie hold outs ;-)

Hey GREAT idea!!! you could collect rainwater from all the leaks you'd have in your roof- damn that pesky expansion and contraction-especially around joints- so I guess one would want to look into rain collectors-goin green is fun

WHAT!!! I take it you have no/little experience in construction.
There would be NO CHANCE of leaks if installed right.
Natural lighting has been being done for years( yes, done so many i dont care to count)

Yes to the OP this sound like a great ideal to save on $$$$$$

no chabce of leaks-I just fixed 7 on a roof last week- you said the magic word-"if" it's installed right. Why's everyone so concerned about going green- the earth will get rid of us as soon as she's ready-like a small surface nuisance.

In a house with no windows or ventilation- with custom made-200 watt incandescents ( it can be done) for side lighting
