Even out your building

Are your tenants complaining of hot or cold spots? Do you have chillers going full blast on the South side while you pump heat to the North? Energy Control Film can help keep you're building a more even temperature and by doing so, reduce your tenant complaints!

In 1980 SMC Film Company installed Energy Control Film on the John Hancock Center. In the first year with film, the building saved $150,000! That's in 1980 dollars! Since then SMC Film Company has helped thousands of businesses save millions of dollars.

Sixty square feet of glass exposed to direct sunlight admits 12,000 btu's of heat per hour during the summer. That offsets one ton of air conditioning. (East facing, 8:00a.m., June 21, Lat. 40*N) Using Energy Control Film can reject up to 79% of those heat causing infra-red rays.

Save even in the winter

Energy Control Films can save you money even in the winter months! Low E Energy Control Films are designed to keep you from losing precious BTUs out through the glass during the cold of winter, thus saving you money on your heating as well as your air conditioning costs. 

Reduce glare and fade

By eliminating 99% of the UV light, Energy Control Films can reduce the damage that UV is doing to your furnishings, woodwork, and draperies. It also makes for a better work environment for your tenants by reducing glare in the office space.

Reduce your peak demand

Energy control film cuts your peak load demand. You see, many utility companies base their rate structures on your building's peak load measurement. Energy control films reduce the amount of energy you use, and as it does, it reduces your "peak"-- which means your total electric bill will be lower. This is very significant because in most cases peak demand charges equal more than 50% of your entire electric bill.

As utility costs rise and the price of maintaining your building's environment increases, energy control film can be a powerful tool in your fight to manage tenant space.

How much money is the sun costing your building?

"One year after installation of the (window) film, the (John Hancock) Center's energy savings totaled $150,000-- exceeding the installation cost by $11,000. The payback took less than one year."
