Save Up to 30% on Energy Bills with Pentagon International Window Film

14 October 2009

Demand for creating a better environment, both inside and out, has never been so high.  Many companies have made a corporate pledge to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. Others, driven by increasing energy costs and their impact on profits, are investing in systems and technologies that deliver energy savings. Window film is one of the smartest ways to make existing buildings more energy-efficient and save on energy bills.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), one of the world`s top energy research centers, reported that, "The most cost-effective options in terms of payback period are adding window films to existing windows, using mini-blinds (or some type of internal window shade), and planting trees around the sunny sides of a building."

Building owners and facility managers can reap tremendous benefits from professionally installed Pentagon International window film:

• Cut air conditioning bills up to 30 percent:
  By rejecting 79 percent of solar energy, window film keeps a room cooler and more comfortable. In commercial buildings, window film reduces the HVAC load and can significantly reduce the use of cooling systems.

• A cost-effective alternative:
  Professionally installed window film costs considerably less than replacement glass. LBNL found that window film tops the ROI (return on investment) list when competing with window replacements, blinds, awnings, shade trees and reflective roofs.

• Improve the ROI of other energy-saving products:
  Window film multiplies the return on investment of other technologies such as HVAC and refrigeration. For LEED certification, window film can be applied toward six distinct credit categories.

Gavin Bannerman, Sales Manager, Pentagon International FZCO said:

"The application of our energy efficient films can qualify a company to earn Leed credits in several key areas including energy performance, light pollution reduction, glare reduction, thermal comfort and also in the innovation category. In addition to the gaining of Leed credits in those areas, the products also have the additional everyday benefits of substantial heat and glare rejection which is ideal for the upcoming summer in offices around Dubai."


"Pentagon International's window film is recognized as one of the most energy efficient products in today's market. With the global shift towards a greener way of thinking we are happy to consult with companies in their drive to reduce their carbon footprint and cut energy costs in a tough financial climate."
