With the winter temperatures we are experiencing, the audience is very attentive to the isolation problem and especially when it comes to heating costs! Energy savings are more than ever on our agenda, especially when they generate reduction of CO2 emission.
Also, we have decided to purchase an infrared camera to better perceive the winter heat loss phenomenon through windows and see the great insulating performances of our films, particularly SOLAR 65 C and 80 C, and Shade Film Blind whose metallization density is very high (to radiate heat toward the inside), without being in contact with the cold glass (Useful air space).
Interior view:
A simple A4 samples of Solar 65C is sufficient to demonstrate its ability to insulate you against the cold outside and prevent the heat escaping through the windows. in winter. The orange color of the film shows his “hot surface”, equivalent to the isothermal wall surrounding the window while the rest of the window is dark, so cold!
Outside view:
Even more demonstrative with an outside T° of -2°C and
23°C inside. Look at the left window without protection,
which gives off heat (yellow / orange) and displays a
T° of 9.4 ° C compared to the right pane, equipped with a
COBALT shade film blind retains more heat inside
(red / orange) as the outside T° recorded is only 2.7°C
(6.7°C difference with the pane on the left)!
Savings in the Winter
Well the good news is you can retain up to 33% more heat by applying a specifically designed insulating film which will also passively reduce heat during the summer.
Whilst renewable energy measures such as passive solar design, passive cooling and ventilation can be considered for new buildings, it is also possible to successfully retro-fit window films and solar panels to lower energy costs and environmental impacts.
So what sort of saving can you make?
If you were to apply 100 square meters of solar control window film you will make a saving of €360 per annum on your heating.
This saving is only on heating and does not take into account the substantial saving you could make during the summer months on you air-conditioning bill. One-third of an average building’s cooling load is due to solar heat gain through its windows.
