Global Window Film Conserves Energy

Global Window Films / Commercial Tint Conserves Energy

Installing solar control window film, commercial tint from Global Window Films of Texas, tint distributor, is a very efficient way to conserve energy and save money.

How does that work? Metallized tint from Global block up to 78% of the solar energy from entering your home or office; thus reducing the load on your HVAC system and saving energy. A solar tint with a Shading Coefficient of .26, such as Silver 20%, will conserve up to 14 kWh of energy per year per square foot (SF) in Houston. A consumer that pays $.125 per kWh will save an estimated $1.75 per year per SF with an efficient HVAC system and save even more with a less efficient HVAC system.

A home or office with 3,000 square feet of windows can save $5,250 per year. This reduces the peak demand on electrical utilities because solar tint conserves energy between 10 AM and 4 PM when energy demand is at its highest. The lower overall energy consumption resulting from window films decreases the demand for new CO2-producing power facilities, in turn resulting in decreased emissions - and a smaller overall carbon footprint.

Florida Power & Light stated that solar tint / window film rebate programs are the most effective rebate programs in conserving energy because the product is cost effective, has a quick payback period, and has immediate results in conserving energy. Once tint is installed, it is saving energy.

Other benefits of solar tint include:

• Reduces hot spots
• Absorbs UV rays (thus reducing fading)
• Reduces glare

When comparing alternatives in increasing the efficiency of the window envelope, window tint is a much more sustainable solution than replacing your glass. It takes much more energy and resources to manufacture, deliver, replace, and install new high performance glass than applying window tint as a performance upgrade to existing windows.

Global’s solar control window film is a very efficient way to conserve energy, save money and be comfortable in your home. Your Houston based Global tint distributor will recommend a solar control specialist & professional installer to fit your needs.
