ST. LOUIS—CPFilms Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solutia Inc., and a leading producer of professional window films for automotive, residential and commercial markets, has introduced a new film product. The EnerLogic Series is the latest addition to the Vista lineup of architectural window films. Featuring a patent-pending, low-e coating, EnerLogic window film adds up to 92 percent more insulating power to existing commercial and residential windows—improving energy efficiency in every season.
In summer, heat from the sun is reflected away from windows, easing the stress on air-conditioning. In winter, radiant heat from heating systems is directed back into the room, reducing energy use and improving comfort.
“A building is only as energy efficient as its windows,” Dave Kaliser, CPFilms’ director of product marketing—Architectural, explains. “Traditional window films reflect heat out, providing substantial savings in summer, but adding relatively little value in winter. EnerLogic film helps keep the heat outside in summer and inside in winter, creating a perfect balance of energy efficiency, cost savings, and comfort.”
Window Efficiency Increased
The technology of EnerLogic window film effectively transforms the insulating power of single-pane windows into double-pane; and double-pane windows into triple-pane. The result is a significant increase in window efficiency at a fraction of window replacement cost.
Windows typically account for 15 percent to 30 percent of a commercial building’s heating costs, and frequently more than 30 percent of cooling costs. EnerLogic window film is a low-cost, high-return technology that compares favorably to other popular energy-saving measures both in terms of energy efficiency and cost savings. In fact, EnerLogic outperforms most alternatives in terms of simple payback—averaging just 2.75 years. Plus, it may be eligible for energy rebates and LEED certification points.
“At CPFilms we understand that the greenest energy is the energy that isn’t used,” said Ray Kollar, CPFilms president and general manager. “This innovative new window film series offers excellent value by improving energy efficiency in every season, helping to reduce consumption and preserve natural resources. We are proud to be the first film company to introduce this revolutionary technology.”
