Case Studies

Harvard University

Vode worked closely with Payette on the Sherman Fairchild Lab Renovation at Harvard University. Vode designed a custom mounting solution for ZipOne and integrated an occupancy sensor into the design. The project achieved LEED Platinum certification. The projects projected energy usage was reduced by 56% through the use of controls, task-ambient solutions and high efficiency fixtures.

Values

Earth is it

Our products aren’t going to save the planet by themselves. What will, are examples we set, the standards we hold our manufacturing partners and ourselves to, and the willingness of our industry to value that standard. You can call that leadership; we call it doing well by doing good. That’s what inspired us to start Vode in the first place. That’s our hope for the planet we share.
