Did you know that the commercial HVAC systems account for more than 40 percent of total energy consumption in commercial spaces? However, this figure may increase significantly when the air conditioning system has to compete with your windows. Figures from the Department of Energy indicate that windows account for about 25 percent of any building's annual heating and cooling costs. Are you wondering how this is possible? Well, during the summer and late spring the sun rays tend to increase the temperature of buildings which make the air conditioner work harder to provide the desired temperature throughout the space. The result is increased energy costs.
What Is Commercial Window Tinting and How Does It Help?
Commercial window tinting refers to the application of a thin layer of clear polyester on commercial building windows to improve energy efficiency. The clear polyester is usually metalized or dyed. A combination of strong, laminated adhesives is also applied to the window tint to offer a scratch-resistant barrier. The coating is specially designed to protect against the destructive ultraviolet sun rays, snow, and rain. The commercial window tinting also protects the interior spaces from the destructive sun rays.How Is Commercial Window Tinting Energy Efficient?
Reducing the overall impact that the sun has on your office spaces can go a long way in helping you save a lot of money when it comes to the energy bill. Some people tend to ask whether blinds and shades can also help in cutting down the energy costs. Well, to a large extent no. With commercial window tinting, you are allowed to keep your blinds and shades open which allows more natural light.Window tinting reduces the room temperature by approximately five degrees and cuts out up to 80 percent of the heat from the sun. In fact, this can help you cut down your annual energy costs by up to 30 percent. Window tinting combined with good quality air conditioning can be the saviour that you have been looking for all these years.
Apart from cutting down on your energy consumption, tinting also prolongs the lifespan of your AC unit since it doesn’t overwork to achieve the desired temperature. Window tinting also reduces the solar damage to your office equipment.
Overall, energy-efficient window films can play a crucial role in making your commercial space energy-efficient. Although the improvement may seem smaller, it has a substantial impact on your monthly energy bill.
