For most Coloradans, making environmentally friendly decisions is important. With our proximity to the Rocky Mountains, we often take into consideration how the purchases and choices we make affect the environment. In Boulder, there’s a disposable bag fee. In Denver, over 26,000 tons of recyclable materials are collected each year. And in Fort Collins, our city is known for its incredible sustainable lifestyle, including the many eco friendly methods of transportation, air and water quality, and abundance of LEED certifications.
In addition to this, Fort Collins is also home to many eco friendly, sustainable homes and buildings. Among the many methods that residents use to reduce their carbon footprint is energy saving window film. Energy saving window film provides Fort Collins property owners with a way to reduce the resource consumption of their home or work space. It’s a very affordable investment to make with low up front costs and there are many advantages that come along with it too.
How Window Film Reduces Energy Consumption
The internal temperature of a building fluctuates as the outside temperature changes throughout the day and different weather conditions are presented throughout the year. These temperature fluctuations are what cause a spike in electricity consumption. When it’s hot inside a building, hvac equipment has to work harder to cool things down and the same thing occurs when temperatures drop during winter and the heat kicks on.
Window film helps to reduce the amount of energy that hvac systems require to operate by keeping building temperatures more stable. Less heat is absorbed during the summer so air conditioning run times are shorter. In the winter, the film retains heat so that the furnace doesn’t have to keep running all day long.
Benefits of Installing Energy Saving Window Film
Commercial buildings, single family homes, apartments, and even schools in Fort Collins can benefit from energy saving window film. In addition to saving money on energy expenses, window film allows Fort Collins property owners to enjoy some other great advantages such as:
Uv protection – Window film blocks out 99.9% of uv radiation
Glare reduction – Virtually all glare is eliminated with the installation of window tint
