BEST Tip of the Week: The Department of Energy reports that one-third of a building's cooling or heating is lost by way of un-tinted windows. Most business windows are not energy efficient. Window films and glazing are one of the best ways to reduce solar heat gain.You can expect as much as 15% savings with improved HVAC efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. And with proper tinting of your windows, you can reduce ultraviolet penetration by 73%, which helps to keep drapes, carpeting, and furniture from fading.
