Sun Glare Reduction Case Study

Fort Collins is a beautiful “small-town-like” city attractive to those want to raise their family close to the great outdoors. Its weather could be characterized as a little milder than some of the front slope communities yet rugged enough to keep outdoor enthusiasts interested. Sparkling mountain views are a dime a dozen from our high-plains perch of more than 5,000 ft. And like any community at such an altitude, one of our main weather related issues is the intense sunlight every building, large or small, gets exposed to each day. This uncomfortable situation can be remedied, as detailed in the case study below, by the simple application of Solar Gard Window Film.

SITUATION: A confection company, Brach & Brock, was having issues with one of their Chicago office buildings. A copious amount of windows on the building was leading to, fluctuating temperatures, employee discomfort, and ultimately high energy costs.

SOLUTION: The Facility Manager thoroughly examined possible solutions for the building. Blinds, electric drapes, and various window films were considered. In the end, the decision was made to have Solar Gard Silver 35 window film applied to their office windows. A window film is known for its low profile appearance, durability and ability to curb the glare from the sun.

RESULT: The Solar Gard 35 was a notable success for the happy customer in this case study. They reported greatly diminished heat and glare and reduced employee sick days. Their temperature is now consistent throughout the building and reduced the load on their air conditioning and heating units. The slightly different hue to the windows even gave the older building an enhanced and updated look!
