Keep it cool

Window film is one of the best ways to make an existing building
more energy-efficient and save on energy bills.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory(LBNL), one of the world`s top energy research centers, reported that,
"The most cost-effective options in terms of payback period are adding window films to existing windows, using
mini-blinds (or some type of internal window shade), and planting trees around the sunny sides of a building."

Recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Clinton Climate Initiative, are the following energy-related savings as well as other benefits.
Cut air conditioning bills up to 30 percent: By rejecting 79 percent of solar energy, window film keeps a room cooler and more comfortable.
Window film reduces the HVAC load and can significantly reduce the use of cooling systems.
A cost-effective alternative: Professionally installed window film costs considerably less than replacement glass. LBNL found that window film tops the ROI list when competing with window replacements, blinds, awnings, shade trees and reflective roofs.
Improve the ROI of other energy-saving products: Window film multiplies the return on investment of other technologies such as HVAC and refrigeration.

Panorama window film reduces the need for air conditioning helping save on energy bills.
