Window Tinting For A Lower Eco-Footprint
Business in the window tinting field is booming. The National Window Film Association reports that window tinting comes recommended by the government and the utility companies as a way to conserve energy. Additionally, certain energy efficient window films allow buildings that apply it to get a point towards their Leed certification. The reason for the boom and all the public and private accolades is simple: window tinting is leading the way in emerging green technologies, in a time when conservation of energy is of dire importance. Why so dire? Because demand for energy is up, while the environmental impact of energy production is higher than ever and costly in more ways than one. Window tinting is a green way to reduce your carbon footprint and stay protected from the unfortunate consequences of climate change at the hand of pollution.
Increased Temperature Extremes
As the global warmer increases it’s toll on the weather, we are seeing hotter hots and colder colds all over the country. Window tinting knows no season and is efficient for every type of weather. It keeps the hot air in during the winter and out during the summer. This means less reliance on HVAC systems for temperature regulation and all around diminished use of electricity.
Nationwide Brownouts
Brownouts occur when demand on a certain power grid is too high for the system to supply energy. The best way to avoid a brown out situation is for residential and commercial structures to use less power. Since window tinting conserves energy, this low-cost home or business improvement allows you to put less stress on the power grid without sacrificing comfort.
Increased Harmful UV Rays
As the Ozone becomes more and more depleted, we are seeing increases in cancers and other damage done by excess UV rays. Putting window tinting on your home or business allows in natural light while blocking 99.9% of the sun’s harmful rays. The Skin Cancer Foundation even recommends window tint as part of a comprehensive sun protection program.
As people begin to turn more and more to energy efficient home products and need steadily increasing protection from weather extremes caused by pollution and global warming, the window film industry will continue to boom. At Window Film Kansas City, we intend to continue doing our part to help protect our customers and the environment.
