1. Story: What Can Be Better Than Saving Energy, Money,
and the Environment?
Every year more and more consumers are going green, saving money and energy with cost-
effective, professionally installed window film. Organizations like the International Window Film
Association (IWFA) have compiled amazing statistics on just how efficient commercial and
residential window film can be. “Through advanced engineering, today’s window films give you
energy savings, a neutral carbon footprint, UV blocking and security benefits while letting visible
light in,” said Darrell Smith, executive director of the IWFA. “This can mean up to a 30% reduction
in cooling costs, while eliminating hot-spots and making your home more comfortable.”
One of the largest sources for energy loss in any building or home is through the glass. Window
films can reduce that energy demand, its operating costs, eye fatigue and your carbon footprint
while prolonging the life of your furnishings and flooring through providing 99.9 % UV protection.
Today nearly 90 percent of homes in the U.S. use some form of AC, according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25 to 35 percent of the
energy used in American buildings and homes is wasted due to inefficient windows and that adds
up to 10 percent of national carbon emissions annually.
Perhaps the best part of commercial and residential window film is the aesthetics. If you have built
your home or business to capture an amazing view, why would you want to cover it up? You
wouldn’t! Perhaps the coolest (literally!) options out there on the market today is window film. By
applying this clear film to all of your interior windows, you can drastically reduce the amount of
harmful UV rays entering your home. So without hampering your scenic view you’re protecting
your furnishings from the sun’s propensity to cause fading and damage, reducing the amount of
glare, and eliminating harmful “hot spots” caused by direct beams of light thus slashing energy
costs because your system is not working as hard to keep the temperature down.
Making the right decisions about energy-efficiency improvements for your home or building is
challenging. Understanding your options is critical, whether your goal is to reduce operating costs,
decrease carbon emissions or create a more comfortable and productive environment. Your
buildings’ windows offer one of the best opportunities for a solid return on investment for energy
savings while keeping that carbon footprint as small as possible.
