Commitment to Sustainability in Every Project
At Norman S. Wright, sustainability is one of our core values. For HVAC systems, energy efficiency is a top priority and our design support experts explore all avenues to reduce energy usage, leverage alternative power sources, and design high-performing systems.
Environmentally Responsible Product Selection
NSW represents industry-leading manufacturers of sustainable HVAC products, focused on minimizing the lifecycle costs of the building and reducing or eliminating carbon emissions. Our solutions include oil-free high-efficiency chillers, underfloor air distribution, displacement ventilation, HVLS fans, and all varieties of heat pump technology.
“Occupants’ comfort, energy-efficiency, and an affordable system — we wanted all three and were able to get them. Achieving a LEED platinum rating is icing on the cake.”
— Senior Program Manager, StopWaste.org
Green Buildings & LEED Qualification
Our team has deep expertise in creating positive impact though LEED qualifying projects. Whether a client is reaching Platinum status or taking initial steps to gain more LEED credits, we collaborate to identify and support these goals.
Meet and Exceed Energy Efficiency Standards
We treat today’s energy efficiency requirements as a baseline. Our clients rely on NSW to go above and beyond to design systems that deliver maximum energy savings for our clients. In an era of increasing energy volatility, performance is more critical than ever.
Build the Right Systems from the Start
We help engineers and architects make design choices that increase individual comfort while reducing the cost of operating air conditioning. For example, thermally powered and low-energy VAV diffusers can achieve both goals while also being easy to maintain long-term.
Spearhead Sustainable Innovation
We are always excited to work on projects that take sustainability above and beyond what is currently considered possible. We’re proud of our product partners and clients for leading the way in using technology and design innovation to build a greener future.
