The solar heat that comes into your house through your windows plays a big factor in the overall effiency of cooling your house. According to the Department of Energy via FacilitiesNet, solar heat gain through windows is responsible for roughly one third of a building’s cooling load.
To help alleviate this, solar window film is often employed. The film is placed on the interior side of the window and reflects and absorbs the incoming sunlight.
Not only does this film keep your house cool, but it also helps to maintain an even temperature throughout the house.
According to FacilitiesNet, don’t expect a dramatic decrease in your energy bills, but the payoff will show up over time. Plus, you’ll be able to curl up more comfortably on that sofa by the window to read your book.
It’s important to find out the best solar film for your particular situation, and make sure that film won’t damage your type of windows.
