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.
