Supposedly very highly energy efficient. I am just preparing the specs, and it appears that this is the extent of criteria that I am going to receive. I have no idea who makes it or any other specifics. I believe it is along the lines of a rolling coiling door - but that is just an assumption - also believe that it is translucent. Is anyone aware of such a product. May be something fairly new?

Really good product. So fast it freaked people out and we had to tamper with the software to slow it down a bit.

More specifically, look at Rytec Spiral FV; https://www.rytecdoors.com/our-high-performance-doors/rigid-rolling-doors/spiral-fv. Hormann has something similar if you use the vision panels in their Speed-Guardian doors: http://www.hormann-flexon.com/products/speed-guardian-4000-u-interior-or-exterior-secure/.

It was on a condo and the residents were, well, freaked out. I also used a Rytec door on a climate controlled underground parking garage. Very satisfied client. I highly recommend them.

I think you nailed the product that the Owner is looking for.
