What is said in this video

My name is Daniel Griffith. I am the property manager for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation here in Oklahoma. Basically day-to-day we make sure that the building and the property is ready for everybody. We've got about 60 or 70 staff that work in this facility that basically serve the whole entire state of Oklahoma when it comes to hunting and fishing and wildlife. So we make sure that the building stays heated or cooled, everything's repaired or working. So the building is located here in Oklahoma City near the Capitol and it basically is a big entryway. We've got some mounts and some basically what it would be like if you're here in Oklahoma. Some different wildlife we have. The other half of the building is office space. So it houses our office for like our 60 or 70 staff that we have here. So but there's a lot of windows in the building that allow people to view inside and out. Before the film was installed some of the problems we're dealing with especially here in this atrium area was increased heat load coming in. A lot of windows that sun would come in and heat up and warm up that carpet which would generate a lot of heat and in the summertime that puts a strain on our heat and air system. That was the biggest problem we were trying to resolve. So in the lobby our goal with the lobby was to reduce the UV damage of the light coming in on the mounts. We have some of the mounts that in the afternoon the west sun would come through and hit those and it was starting to fade those mounts. We sent the project out to bid like we do with any of our government contracts and obviously price drives a lot of that but also quality of the product which prior to going out to bid we'd already kind of determined what product we wanted. So what quality we wanted so it was really just up to what was the best value for us. Basically we selected Epic because when it came to the product we were wanting and the value they were providing they provided the best value to get us to where we wanted to be. From the first meeting all the way to getting the job complete it was a pretty it was a really smooth process so you know a lot of communication going on to where setting times to come up here and look at stuff or setting times to schedule for scaffolding and stuff to come in to get the work done and then once the actual process happened it went real smooth. Since the window tint has been installed even staff in the building have noticed a significant decrease in the temperature but also just the fact that the air is running less in the building so that building is able to maintain the the cool levels that we want in the summertime. Working with Epic has been a smooth process and simple they they worked with us and we worked with them it was great.
