Why Houston Businesses Need Commercial Window Film
Energy consumption is a significant concern for Houston businesses, where air conditioning is not just a luxury but a necessity. Research has shown that window films can reduce total annual cooling energy consumption by up to 35% in commercial settingsMDPI. This is particularly beneficial in Houston, where the energy demand spikes during the long summer months. Moreover, the return on investment for installing window films is impressive, ranging from 6% to 68% annually, depending on several factors including the climate zone and the type of product usedSolar Gard.
Upgrading your business’s windows with energy-saving films can lead to savings of $1 to $2 per square foot of film installed, translating to as much as 19 kWh per square foot of glass, which is a significant reduction in energy use3M. In a city like Houston, where commercial spaces often feature extensive glass facades, the potential savings are enormous.
