3M Insulating Films reduce a window's SHGC and U Value which in turn increases the energy efficiency of a building’s envelope. We can decrease energy consumption and reduce temperature imbalances, all at a fraction of the cost of glass replacement. This is especially helpful when achieving Local Law Compliance in cities such as New York, Boston, and Washington, DC. With a three- to seven-year payback and films warrantied for up to 15 years, ESCOs are embracing our solutions for their customers.

We can estimate the impact of window film on most buildings using energy modeling software co-developed by the Department of Energy (DOE), 3M Company, and the International Window Film Association. EFILM, the software standard of the window film industry, is based on the DOE’s Energy Plus model. Or if you prefer, we can provide you with the 3M window film components specific to your software ( TRACE™ 700, eQuest, etc) so that you can measure the impact of our window films yourself.
