It can be installed quickly and professionally, allowing you to begin realizing your energy saving goals without delay. Using the ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Energy Toolbox, your dealer can estimate your long term energy savings and a projected payback period based on your film choice. And, rebates and tax credits can be applied to offset initial costs, accelerating your return on investment. Long term savings and comfort benefits go on for years. When considering your film options, examine multiple factors and performance specifications. Custom reports generated by the ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Energy Toolbox help you quantify energy savings and comfort enhancements, providing you with data and recommendations for film installation.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Building Information Modeling<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a sophisticated energy analysis process that simulates projected energy savings due to window film installation. BIM provides an anticipated return on investment (ROI) payback schedule for window film projects before film is applied, assuring you that energy savings will be achieved. To help our dealers provide BIM services ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Technical Services has developed an Energy Toolbox to analyze your needs and generate reports that illustrate how different films will perform, so that you can make an informed decision. After looking at scenarios and data from your project, an energy-saving window film strategy is recommended. Technical Services can also suggest tools for validating the results once the film has been installed.
