Life has just become much more comfortable for us. The new air conditioner is quicker, quieter and saves us money.

We need to look for every way to save a dollar so we don’t jeopardize the critical services we’re offering.

This particular project was very efficient, but it also benefited from both better humidity control and better temperature control.

Even the steel doors — they’re balanced, yet they have a certain weight, a strength to the touch and feel of them.

A lot of companies can do a historical or preservation match, but only this one could also create a code-compliant, impact-rated product. That was what we needed.

I would totally say it was worth it. The first time that I walked in, I loved it. It was so refreshing. I felt good immediately.

Once I saw it, the skylight tied everything together and made the office look gorgeous.

The benefits outweighed the cost. No matter what the price was, we wouldn’t have done it any other way. That’s how significant the impact is.

The first impression is that floor shines. I mean, that is really truly one of the first impressions when you walked through the door.

When we brought the unit to everybody’s attention, everybody thought, ‘Wow, this looks like a great unit.’ I think everybody knew that it combined everything we needed into one.

I’ve been installing windows for 30 years or more. I don’t see anything else out there that’s quite as nice.

When we take potential students and parents... the look on their faces, they’re in awe, like, oh wow!

Lighting designers should aim to achieve Spatial Daylight Autonomy values of 75 percent or higher in classrooms.

There are always other manufacturers who play outside the rules, but you can’t qualify a window to the expected performance requirements in any way other than testing.

A lot of manufacturers have no certification whatsoever and perform no testing. Hope’s tests everything; they spend a lot of money to acquire the right product certifications.

But at 20 SEER, the efficiency of the unit is hard to deny.

We also think about society’s well-being in broader terms. We tried to make sure that what we were doing improved the wellbeing of the residents and contributed to lowering their cost to live in the space.

Tenants are paying the bills, so they should have absolute control.

Overall it’s great – the kids definitely enjoy having natural light in there, it’s just a much more natural feel.

What I can tell you is that walking into every one of those dorm rooms, the cooling and ventilation worked really well.

I don’t know of any individual room units that do a better job with ventilation air to dilute the concentration.

Our engineering services team pushed for theses units. We wanted something over and above that would give us better air quality and better humidity control.

When I explained how these systems offer better humidity control and ventilation, they were convinced and then they really pushed for them.

Polyiso is definitely the preferred choice for the roof, so why wouldn’t you use it to insulate the rest of your building, too?

Window placement is how we design the room, because that will define how that room interacts with the outside.

Our team designed an indoor-outdoor beach house that is very efficient, and everybody seems to love the casual aspect of it.

The Charleston Library is in a very prominent location and we protected it for another hundred, two hundred years.

Recreating the original windows was a laborious process but they look beautiful now.

It’s really a very strong and super-reinforced metal and glass skylight up there.

The warranties squelched any worries that we had and their demeanor, decorum and confidence were decisive for us.

We pulled the trigger on that cost because we felt that if we put windows in and they don’t look right, it’s gonna be a disaster we can’t recover from.

They want long-term, maintenance free buildings, and they are willing to pay a premium for lasting materials.

When you don't control outside air in buildings, it leads to significant temperature and humidity control problems for guests and increases the chance of bacterial growth.

If the costs were the same, then I would hope we would all have inverter-driven variable speed technology systems because we’d save energy and operating cost.

Having skylights in the dealership will allow customers to see the car’s true color.

I would absolutely do what we’ve done here again in a new facility.

You definitely get that feeling of daylight in the hallways and the classrooms.

We looked for opportunities to leverage best practices within budget that are environmentally conscious.

As an aesthetic for American Eagle Outfitters, we really like polished concrete flooring.

It’s essentially a product that will last indefinitely, it just takes wear and tear perfectly.

The unpretentious, utilitarian qualities of concrete convey honesty and integrity,

When the renovation was complete, it was unbelievable. Students were astonished by the results.

We are complimented almost daily on the beauty of the floors.

In all the buildings I’ve ever designed, they always have had a daylight component, because it just makes sense

It’s a really well built, well detailed, high thermal performance skylight. It’s super cost-affordable because it’s modular.

I was totally shocked at the size of the rebate. But I was happy for it. It really made the payback pretty decent.

We’re pleased to make this investment in sustainability to demonstrate our commitment to this great city.

It made sense economically, so we jumped on it…. so that is well worth it to me.

I think that they are a very elegant solution.

I knew the ceilings were going to be beautiful with those light shafts cut through, and they are. It’s a really nice space.
