Sometimes an incredible cost effective solution can be glossed over when energy managers and facilities leaders brainstorm methods to consider to obtain sustainable energy solutions.

BUT

Window film has been around since the 1960’s.

Today’s new technology energy insulating coatings are durable, warranted against failure and won’t alter the appearance of your windows (unless that’s what you want!)

We have come a very long way from the old days of purple, hazy and murky reflective films of those early times.

So why do ESCO’s and energy cost consultants seem totally absorbed with HVAC and lighting retrofits?

  1. Window film isn’t as exciting as lighting systems or updated chillers.
  2. There remains a poor perception of window film possibly based on past installations where film failure was experienced or the observation of failed tint on cars or retail stores.
  3. Window film doesn’t appear to have champions that are promoting this solution.
  4. Glass curtain wall companies are keenly interested in window and glass replacement. Window film retrofits would obviate that requirement.

Window film is an industry in search of credibility.

 

That’s why we are pleased with the NFRC ratings that document performance characteristics and expectations of window film solutions.

We promote the objective reports that quantify energy savings and ROI!

Additional considerations:

  • All Vista , LLumar film factor out 99.9% of the UV- This preserves interior carpeting, paintings and furnishings.
  • Glare control will improve worker productivity and comfort.

  • Demonstrable tenant satisfaction based upon this improved comfort and elimination of cold and hot spots throughout your entire facility.
  • Improved efficiency of your Hvac and chiller systems since heat gain is blocked at the glass!

  • NFRC rated performance on all Eastman Commercial Window Films.

  • Energy Rebates apply through your local power company. Duke Energy, TECO, FP&L all offer attractive commercial window film rebate incentives.
  • Significant reduction in your monthly energy costs.

  • Improved curb appeal – many films will streamline the aesthetics of your facility and provide privacy.
  • Safety and Security (thicker iterations) for burglary protection and blast protection.

  • Interior designer architectural films can be employed on interior glass dividers and conference rooms.  These films enhance the beauty and functionality of your design planning.

We shout from the highest mountains the successful installations throughout the world where window film has altered perceptions and attained it’s proper position as the foundation component in a hierarchy of energy smart solutions.

Here for example our installation at NC State University!

We have seen a spike in the number of installations geared to improving the glass protection of homes and businesses against burglary.

While FBI statistics seem to point to only a modest increase in burglaries, the clients we have interviewed have direct experience with home break-ins in their own neighborhood!

How thicker shatter films work?

Thicker safety and security window films hold the glass in place against forced entry.The glass- film- and frames can be reinforced using attachment systems. 

Formerly vulnerable rear windows and doors are now much harder to penetrate.

This has the effect of slowing down would be intruders and allowing your home or business security system to sound the alarm.

Many consumers request versions that offer solar reduction properties or reflective films for privacy.

These films lower your monthly cooling costs by as much as 30% !

At minimum we recommend 8 ML thick films. 

While many manufacturers do make a 4 ML version, the thicker versions offer much greater puncture strength and tensile strength.

Today’s facility manager has to be a jack of all trades.


Shrinking budgets, and economic concerns tightened budgets across the board.
Certainly sustainability and “greening ” of your facility are top of mind considerations but practical costs have to be measured and bench marked for realistic short and long term cost savings.

Energy costs are rising.

35524_535040636529412_1695691701_n

Energy costs are the second fastest growing expense area behind health care costs and are expected to increase as the economy recovers and companies increase their production.

Many of the low hanging fruit improvements have been implemented. (lighting upgrades, etc.)
