Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering | | Norwegian term or phrase: sagtanntak | "I løpet av 1870-tallet skjøt industrialiseringen fart langs Akerselva. Bygningsmassen i området gjennomgikk en hurtig forvandling. På begynnelsen av 1900-tallet bygde man spesialiserte industrilokaler som bare produserte ett produkt. Disse bygningene ble vanligvis utstyrt med sagtanntak for å øke lysinnslippet."
Some type of corrugated roofing? But does the term imply a certain material (glass) to allow light to pass through? |

Another roof-angled glass alternative is a "sawtooth roof" (found on older factories). Sawtooth roofs have vertical roof glass facing away from the equator side of the building to capture diffused light (not harsh direct equator-side solar gain). |
