Saving Energy

Tax credits and legislative energy conservation requirements on building design are an ever increasing concern for urban developers and designers. The incorporation of expansive glass areas in building design is both economical and aesthetically attractive, especially to let in daylight, reducing the need for lighting fixtures. Letting the light in with expansive windows too often creates a solar heat problem. In addition, businesses have people, each with their personal computers, faxes and other office equipment, that create additional heat that the air conditioning system has to remove.

Even a relatively small area of glass of 20-30 square feet, facing the sun, requires one 3.5 kilowatt air conditioning unit to overcome the heat coming through the window. On hot summer days the problem escalates especially in the afternoon when the sun hits the windows facing west.

Applying solar control window film balances the air conditioning better, taking into account a building’s hot and cool sides. Elimination of harmful UV rays, 80% of the sun’s glare and over 70% of total solar energy makes a significant reduction in power consumption. As a result, the air conditioning system will function more efficiently and, long term, will save property owners on energy.
