Leaders Making an Impact
Eneref Reports Build Confidence With Testimonials by Industry Leaders and Early Adaptors.
Eneref’s solutions need to align with our mission of to encourage socially responsible, earth-friendly actions.
The school facilities division is implementing a strategic approach to help maintain the health and safety of all building occupants.
There’s one thing that you don’t want, it’s aggravation and unhappy customers, so you want to sell them a good product. That’s a good product.
I know about the filters because I’m friends with the custodian, but I don’t know if everyone else knows. It would make them feel like I feel—a little bit safer.
I couldn’t imagine buying a new vehicle under artificial lighting conditions.
We thought the modular skylight design was beautiful. And it also made for a much easier installation.
What I can tell you is that walking into every one of those dorm rooms, the cooling and ventilation worked really well.
It makes a huge difference. It’s way brighter in here, even on cloudy days.
We should all have inverter-driven variable speed technology systems because we’d save energy and operating cost, be more comfortable, and reduce our carbon footprint. There’s really no downside.
They’re really, really fantastic. It’s the most dramatic room in the house.
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.
Most PTACs and VTACs can control temperature, but any humidity control is subsequent, or ancillary, to the temperature control. The Friedrich VRP unit specifically cools and addresses room humidity.
We love the room we have now and we’re glad that we did it.
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.
I’m so happy with the results that I’ll use the same skylights.
Before the skylights, I had a customer who said, ‘Is that color too vivid?’ But the car was gray.
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.
I don’t know of any individual room units that do a better job with ventilation air to dilute the concentration.
After attending a continuing education course on the importance of fall protection and the changing requirements of OSHA, we introduced the polycarbonate skylights to the district.
We felt the polycarbonate was a stronger, more durable product,
We recommend polycarbonate Prismatic skylights, especially in hail zone areas, where strength and safety are key,
Actually, it was seamless… a very easy installation.
We were looking for the best-looking, high-performance, most minimal skylight.
If the project is in a coastal area, I always recommend polycarbonate,
They delivered great value and were very responsive.
The more ventilation you provide, the lower the concentration of whatever contaminants there might be,
Fresh air gives an immediate feeling of clean, cool and calm — which is exactly the guest experience hotel owners want to give their guests,
UV absorbing cap layer in polycarbonate sheet is very effectively guards it against UV light.
The reason that the cars look better under natural light is that natural light has all of the wavelengths.
The skylights make a difference because you can see the natural color of the car better.
When you don’t control the amount of ventilation air that you have coming in, you spend extra money,. It’s expensive to take the humidity out if you don’t keep it out to begin with.
When I explained how these systems offer better humidity control and ventilation, they were convinced and then they really pushed for them.
The reason that the cars look better under natural light is that natural light has all of the wavelengths.
It was pretty close to just one shot and it’s done.
Color can be just as big a draw as the functional aspects of a car.
Adding more daylight helps our customers live more comfortably in their homes.
We’ve got buyers who recognized that if you reduce your dependence on electric lighting, and your dependence on the air conditioner because you are able to get good venting through skylights—that appeals to them.
These devices bring in a usable amount of light earlier and later in the day.
These windows can even let in fresh air when the homeowners are away from home, without them having to think about safety or weather.
But at 20 SEER, the efficiency of the unit is hard to deny.
Overall it’s great – the kids definitely enjoy having natural light in there, it’s just a much more natural feel.
This particular project was very efficient, but it also benefited from both better humidity control and better temperature control.
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.
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.
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.
Even the steel doors — they’re balanced, yet they have a certain weight, a strength to the touch and feel of them.
Once I saw it, the skylight tied everything together and made the office look gorgeous.
The first impression is that floor shines. I mean, that is really truly one of the first impressions when you walked through the door.
I’ve been installing windows for 30 years or more. I don’t see anything else out there that’s quite as nice.
Life has just become much more comfortable for us. The new air conditioner is quicker, quieter and saves us money.
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.
When we take potential students and parents... the look on their faces, they’re in awe, like, oh wow!
We need to look for every way to save a dollar so we don’t jeopardize the critical services we’re offering.
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.
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.
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.
They want long-term, maintenance free buildings, and they are willing to pay a premium for lasting materials.
We tried to be as flexible as possible in the planning of the space so that the design studio could be configured differently in the future,
We were strongly cognizant of the fact that it needs to work well when there’s no daylight,
All skylights we situate in industrial warehouses or distribution centers are polycarbonate.
We took the time to consider preservation versus reconstruction versus new construction and whether architectural authenticity resides in the material itself or in the design and specifications.
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.
Our workers had no prior experience with this type of skylight and they went in without issues.
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.
Everybody comments on it because of the openness and the daylight. And when the moon’s just in the right spot—it’s great.
The skylights make the whole room look great. Our lunch run is phenomenal.
It’s not even comparable. Everybody knows it. It’s not even the same place.
They functioned well, they looked good, and they provided lots of light to the space.
You wouldn’t believe it, how much daylight it makes inside the building. I mean it’s phenomenal.
During the warmer sunny days, I have been able to keep the boiler turned off 24 hours.
The 120,000 square foot space is lit really well, very clean and very efficient. Great overall luminosity.
People comment that it seems bright and very safe.
Customers have noticed the panels, and hopes they serve as an inspiration for other local businesses as well.
There’s virtually no maintenance to it once it’s up.
Throughout the year, the brewery will see a natural gas savings of over 50%.
