How College Campuses Can Be More Energy Efficient With Window Film

When it comes to energy efficiency almost commercial space benefits more than college campuses. Whether private or public, keeping energy expenditures low, in the long run, benefits both students and staff.  Window film, as it were, is a powerful way to maximize energy efficiency campus-wide and affordable as well, with an ROI in as little as 3 years. Read below to find out just how window film works to make campuses energy efficient.

Window Film Makes Campuses More Energy Efficient By Adding Insulation


Window film acts as an invisible barrier on windows which even though incredibly thin, has powerful insulation properties. After it is applied this minuscule and practically invisible film acts as well or better than an entire pane of glass.  Meaning, single pane windows now act as double and double pane windows insulate like triple pane.

Window Film Makes Campuses More Energy Efficient By Reducing Solar Heat Gain


The more infrared light that is rejected, the less energy a building uses.  Window films reduce solar heat gain by as much as 80% on many windows. Spectrally selective films work double duty–reducing solar heat gain in the summer (lowering A/C bills) and trapping 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 San Antonio Schools regularly pay.


Window Film Makes Campuses More Energy Efficient By Lowering HVAC Costs



When heated and cooled air gets trapped inside, where they belong, the HVAC systems work considerably less.  This is exactly how window film works. The result is less repair and maintenance work on large commercial HVAC systems which is incredibly expensive.  So, by solving the problem of chronic HVAC maintenance where it starts, at the windows, campuses here in San Antonio, save thousands each and every year!
