#### Window Film Saves Energy plus Supported by IWFA

Window film saves energy and is supported by [International Window Film Association](https://iwfa.com/about-us)
IWFA. To begin the [heating and cooling](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/08/heating-and-cooling-simple-ways-to-save-some-bucks/)
of large buildings and corporate offices are often a significant drain. Therefore
a drain on the structure’s system.

With many utility companies offering incentive programs that encourage [customers to save energy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/arkansas-energy-efficiency-investments-would-create-thousands-of-local-jobs-and-save-customers-billions/).
It’s one means that may be overlooked is the use of [window film](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/03/how-window-film-helps-you-be-more-green/).

The [International Window Film Association](https://iwfa.com/about-us) (IWFA) is
encouraging the [corporate secto](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/07/making-your-workplace-energy-efficient-key-steps-to-start-with/)
r to be aware of the immediate and long-lasting benefits. Especiallyof professionally
[installed window](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/02/advance-corporate-green-initiatives-with-professionally-installed-window-film/)
film with IWFA approved contractors.

Which is including reduced cooling and energy costs, improved comfort for occupants,
[a lower carbon footprint](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/03/green-guru-guides-do-it-yourself-energy-audits-simple-solutions-to-reduce-your-utility-bill-and-carbon-footprint/),
and eliminating the need for expensive window upgrades.

Therefore throughout the United States, case studies show the effectiveness of window
film. Effectiveness in reducing costs and promoting energy efficiency for building
owners and managers. That’s a single Midwest-based place of a national pharmacy 
store chain reduced the need for electrical lighting by up to 52 percent by filtering
UV rays and redirecting natural light with a window film application. A notable 
pop-culture museum has achieved an annual average cost savings of $30,000 in reduced
cooling costs from applying a solar controlling window film with ceramic or nano-
technology.

“With technology improvements, window film products have become one of the easiest
to carry out and most cost-effective energy efficiency measures available for commercial
retrofitting. Comments from Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the IWFA.

#### Window Film: How Good Is It?!

“Professionally [installed window film](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/03/installation-of-solar-panels-on-home-can-increase-value-by-4-percent-during-resale/)
is an investment that provides many benefits for years to come.”

Window film provides, on average, up to 55 percent rejection of solar heat – reducing
the number of hot and cold spots in a home or building while providing a more energy-
efficient environment. Some films can even help to keep room heat in the winter 
months. By offering seven times the energy savings benefits per dollar spent in 
a facility when compared with full window replacement, window [film is an eco](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/01/exploring-the-world-of-eco-fashion-at-sundance-film-festival/)
and budget-friendly option while still making the needed improvement.

Window film products rating the [National Fenestration Rating Council](https://www.nfrc.org/windows-doors-skylights/windows-films/)
for energy performance. So by reducing solar heat gain in the summer. As well as
retaining a building’s heat in the winter. So once installed, window film may offer
year-round savings. So Expect about 5 to 10 percent of the facility’s total energy
bill.
