Improving Energy Efficiency
26th July 2012
The use of air conditioning in the UK has rocketed 60 percent in the past 20 years but air conditioners are not efficient. Using them to cool a building often uses significantly more energy than it does to heat one.The UK Building Research Establishment has reported that as much as 40 per cent of the load on air conditioners comes from countering heat gain from the sun shining through the window.
Glazing Refurbishment Limited can provide a guaranteed solution to the above problem by installing specialist solar control films to your buidlings glazed element.
So how does Window Film work?
Put simply, it keeps out the sun, meaning less work for the air conditioner and in turn, lower energy bills and CO2 emissions.
In fact, using the correct film can cut air conditioner load by almost a third, meaning the initial cost can be recouped in saved energy bills over three to five years.
As pressure grows on governments and corporations to meet commitments to meet CO2 reduction targets, Window Film can help a business move towards a cleaner and greener way of operating.
Glazing Refurbishment have the in-house capabilities to fully specify the correct window film for your property. Fully trained site staff will apply film to all required surfaces with access difficulties solved using innovative and importantly safe methods.
