Modern high-rise office buildings continue to add expansive windows to their architectural design. As the Raymond James Financial Center found out, additional glass also allows more heat and glass-related problems to enter as well. High Impact Glass Solutions, known for resolving these problems, was chosen to install window film that would deliver the best cost-saving strategy and add comfort and protection for the occupants. Installing our low- E window films dramatically reduced heat gain through the glass windows and lessened the load on their HVAC systems. Impressively, the average ROI on the performance of our films is often less than 3 years as compared to an average payback of 15 to 20 years from window replacement. Other benefits include: • Up to 75% solar heat gain reductions • Blockage of 99.9% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays that fade interior furnishings • Films recommended as effective sun blocks by the Skin Cancer Foundation • Significant reduction of glare and eye strain with computer and HD monitors • Crystal clear clarity of outside views • Creates consistent aesthetic appeal and eliminates views of individual office clutter • Energy Star and NFRC rated window films with 15 year manufacture warranties Recognized for becoming a more sustainable “green building”, Raymond James qualified for LEED points, generous utility rebates and discounted insurance rates as additional benefits.
