As the world’s natural resources become more depleted with time, energy costs are reaching an ultimate high. Utility costs for a 900 sq ft apartment in Salt Lake City cost an average of $120 per month, and the expense for a single family home is much greater, often reaching well into the $200-300 range. Fortunately, one recent case study has shown that there may be a solution to this energy crisis. It turns out that window film can save Salt Lake homeowners significant amounts of money on energy costs.

Energy Savings Case Study
This case study tells the story of a homeowner based in Denver, Colorado. The owner of the home was having trouble with his home energy costs; they seemed to be getting more and more expensive each year. Colorado’s climate is similar to Utah, so summer energy expenses are no laughing matter. As a solution, he decided to install new windows for his home to see if that could help lower his monthly utility bill.
With the new windows, summer utility costs dropped from $269 per month to $216 per month. This was an average of about $2.40 savings per day.
However, the utility bill was still high in comparison to other homes the man have lived in before. So he decided to take matters a step further. He installed Vista solar control window film on all the windows. The results were spectacular. The following summer, his August utility bill was only $83 for the month! The window film had done the job.
While the replacement windows had certainly aided in this situation, it’s clear to see that the real game changer was window film. With just one quick application, monthly utility costs had been reduced by over $180. And the home was cooler and more comfortable too!
How It Works
So how exactly does this kind of miracle happen? It’s all thanks to something called spectrally selective technology. Spectrally selective technology allows in only certain types of light. Heat causing rays and uv radiation is blocked while visible light is allowed to pass through. Window film uses this kind of technology to make windows more energy efficient. The result is lower hvac run times, less solar heat gain, and reduced uv damage. Pretty cool, right?
