Making an impact on the environment in many different ways...
Light Energy Savings through Natural Light
DID YOU KNOW? Electric lighting comprises almost 25% of the total electricity used in buildings in the United States, and buildings constitute over 75% of the total electricity used nationwide.
With NW Natural Lighting's skylights, harnessing natural light becomes a transformative solution to curb this substantial energy demand. By strategically installing these skylights, homes can significantly reduce their dependence on artificial lighting during daylight hours. This translates into remarkable light energy savings, contributing not only to lower electricity bills but also to a decreased environmental footprint. As a homeowner, you can take a significant step towards a more sustainable future while enjoying the benefits of abundant, natural illumination within your living spaces.
Responsible Manufacturing with Recycled Content
Revolutionize home energy efficiency with innovative Home Ventilation solutions, including Whole House Fans and Solar Attic Fans.
These cutting-edge technologies offer substantial savings by reducing the reliance on traditional heating and cooling systems. Whole House Fans efficiently draw in cool, fresh air from outside during mild weather, circulating it throughout the home and expelling stale air, thus minimizing the need for air conditioning. Similarly, Solar Attic Fans harness the power of the sun to ventilate attics, preventing heat buildup and reducing the workload on air conditioning units. By integrating these solutions into your home, NW Natural Lighting not only enhances comfort but also significantly lowers HVAC-related energy consumption, contributing to both cost savings and environmental sustainability. With these innovative approaches, homeowners can enjoy a more efficient and eco-friendly living environment while reducing their carbon footprint.
Protect from Harsh Glare and Heat Buildup with Custom Shades
Efficiently manage cooling costs while maximizing comfort with motorized exterior shades, complemented by optional automation with sun sensors. These shades serve as a proactive barrier against solar heat gain, effectively blocking out the sun's intense rays before they penetrate the windows and warm up indoor spaces.
By deploying motorized exterior shades strategically, homeowners can regulate the amount of sunlight entering their homes throughout the day, thereby reducing the need for air conditioning and minimizing energy consumption.
Did you know: Exterior shades are about 40% more effective in blocking out heat and UV rays than their interior counterparts!
