Architectural Window Film Benefits

• Energy savings– Decreases energy costs up to 30% by reducing interior

temperature fluctuations and HVAC load

• Reduces carbon footprint– Our window films are proven to produce a net positive impact

on the environment, saving more carbon than used to produce

• Provides protection– Rejects 99% of damaging UVA and UVB rays that cause premature

aging and skin cancer, and fading of interior furnishings and fixtures

– Certain films provide a sacrificial coating that can be peeled away if vandalized with graffiti or etching

• Increases comfort– Reduces solar heat gain to stabilize room temperature and

eliminate uncomfortable hot spots

– Reduces bothersome glare

– Allows natural daylighting to boost the energizing effects of sunshine and outside views

• Enhances safety and security– Keeps shattered glass from becoming dangerous shrapnel in

the event of a violent storm, earthquake or explosion

– Blocks electronic signals to prevent intellectual property theft

• Improves aesthetics – Films are available in a wide array of tint colors to enhance

ambiance or increase privacy

Energy Savings

• 12.7% of a US building’s energy use is from cooling

• 33% of a building’s cooling bill is caused by windows as a result of solar heat gain

• With proven heat-rejection properties, Solar Gard architectural window films help buildings consume up to 30% less energy for cooling by keeping interior temperatures more stable. Solar Gard energy saving window films are NFRC certified

• Improving window performance with Solar Gard can:

– Reduce the HVAC load, allowing buildings to downsize their cooling equipment

– Help balance peak energy usage with climate control and interior comfort

Carbon Savings

• Commercial buildings are the leading source of energy consumption and carbon emissions in the U.S.*

–Buildings produce 39% of the total CO2 emissions in the U.S. (2236 million metric tons)

–CO2 emissions from buildings are projected to grow faster than any other sector in the next 25 years

• Our architectural solar control window films reduce GHG emissions by 10 – 40% in commercial buildings

• In just one year, Solar Gard window film saved 3.6 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. This is equal to:

‒Carbon attributed to combusting 367 million gallons of gasoline

‒Carbon offset of 83,740,126 tree seedlings grown over 10 years

Commercial Buildings and Sustainability

• 92% of facility managers surveyed are working to make their facilities more sustainable*

– 67% say their customers are “forcing them” to make sustainable changes

– 46% say the government is forcing the change

• 73% say financial challenges are the leading hurdle in making sustainable changes.

• Window film provides a cost effective solution at a fraction of the financial and carbon cost of replacement windows

These figures are typical for commercial buildings, they are North America specific and may vary slightly by region.

Cost-Effective and Carbon Smart

* 2009 Buildings Energy Databook, published by the U.S. Department of Energy.** Solar Gard estimates based on internal data and data obtained from RSMeans Construction Cost Data Book 2011.“Cost Effective Building Envelope Options for Reducing Cooling Loads in Commercial Buildings,” Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California.

• 49 billion square feet of glazing in the world today

‒ Window film quickly and efficiently transforms existing standard windows into high-performing energy conservation systems

‒ Solar Gard is more cost efficient and carbon efficient than replacement windows

“Window film is the most cost-effective way to upgrade a building’s windows.”– Berkeley Labs, a DOE laboratory

These figures are typical for commercial buildings, they are North America specific and may vary slightly by region

Provides UV Protection

• Less than 30% of architectural glass manufactured today provides very minimal UV protection*

• Currently between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year caused by UVA and UVB rays

• Over 66,000 deaths occur annually worldwide from melanoma and other skin cancers

• Provides UV protection with SPF 285+– Blocks 99% of damaging UVA/UVB rays– Helps prevent wrinkles and aging

associated with sun damage– Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation– Provides year-round sun protection

• Prevents fading of interior fixtures and furnishings

* Ducker Worldwide, Study of the 2008 North American Fabricated Glass market, March 2009

Protects Against Vandalism

• Solar Gard Graffitigard protects property by acting as an unnoticeable, sacrificial barrier between vandals and the surfaces they try to destroy, including:

– Interior and exterior glass windows and mirrors– Non-porous surfaces like stainless steel

and marble– “Peel and replace” film is removed to reveal

a fresh surface

• Safeguards surfaces – storefronts, overpasses, public transit vehicles, etc. from paint, key scratches, marking and even acid-etching

– Reduces property damage

– Maintains aesthetics

Increases Comfort

• Rejects up to 79% of solar energy – Increases temperature stability– Reduces uncomfortable hotspots – Eliminates glare to improve visibility of

computer, television and touch screens

• Enables natural daylighting– Filters the harsh solar heat intake

and glare that causes people to cover their windows

– Allows the energizing effects of sunshine and outside views that have been linked to productivity, health and well being

Enhances Safety and Security

• Solar Gard Armorcoat® keeps broken glass together,

preventing shards of glass from becoming dangerous shrapnel, and preventing water and debris damage in the event of:

– Severe weather

– Earthquakes

– Accidents

– Bomb blasts

• By holding broken glass together upon impact, Solar Gard potentially slows down, and deters forced entry
