How Window Film Can Help Salt Lake City Schools, Colleges and Universities Save Money on Energy Costs

Energy Saving Window Film For Salt Lake City Schools


Energy costs are high these days and it seems like they are always going up.  This is problematic for all sorts of spaces here in Salt Lake City— residential and commercial.  One type of space that is dramatically affected by the rise in energy prices is schools, colleges, and universities.   From the University of Utah to Brigham Young University–places of higher learning here in Utah and feeling the squeeze of tighter and tighter budgets in some part due to high utility bills eating up their already thin finances. However, a great solution for these types of learning places elementary, secondary alike is window film.

The Energy Saving Window Film Benefits For Schools


Schools and Universities here in Salt Lake City and around the world tend to have a lot of windows and as a result a lot of demand on their HVAC systems. This is why window film is a great way for them to save a lot of money on energy costs. The two main factors at play here are a significant reduction in the amount of visible and infrared light absorbed or reflected by the film.  

Window Film For Solar Heat Gain On Windows In Salt Lake City Schools


the more infrared light that is rejected, the less energy a structure uses.  Window films can reduce solar heat gain as much as 80%. Spectrally selective films actually reduce solar heat gain in the summer–therefore lowering A/C bills but also trap that same heat in when it is cold outside–lowering heating bills in the winter.  This powerful combination will result in a large reduction (around 25% -45%) on the already large bills the schools regularly pay.

Lower HVAC Maintenance Costs  For Salt Lake City Schools With Window Film


As you can imagine, when heated and cooled air are trapped inside where they belong with the use of window film, the HVAC systems work considerably less.  The cost of repairing and maintaining large commercial HVAC systems is extremely high. So, by stopping the problem of chronic HVAC maintenance where it starts, at the windows, schools, colleges, and universities here in Salt Lake City, save thousands each and every year!
