Today’s public sector faces many challenges. Alongside the need to make cost savings there is legislative and stakeholder pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Many organisations have already taken steps to address both of these issues through the introduction of energy saving policies and measures. However, government legislation, commitments and targets will require continued reductions in order to make the transition to a truly low carbon and sustainable economy.
Non-domestic Buildings - Opportunities for Emission Reduction
A key opportunity for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and associated costs lies within our buildings. Non-domestic buildings account for ~18% of the UK’s carbon emissions and result in significant energy bills for the resident organisation. Whilst new buildings are becoming increasingly efficient, 60% of today’s non-domestic buildings will still exist in 2050; therefore organisations will need to improve the energy efficiency of existing building stock to respond effectively to both short and long term greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Non-domestic buildings must maintain comfortable working conditions for their inhabitants, ensuring they are warm enough in winter and cool enough in the summer. Heating, cooling and ventilation systems facilitate this, however they are also responsible for 57% of carbon emissions in these buildings and therefore represent a key target for emission reduction technologies.
How EnerLogic works
- Patent pending ‘low emissivity’ (low e) coating:
- Reflects 93% of radiant energy back to its source, locking heat in the building in the winter and reducing heating system energy consumption
- Upgrades single pane windows to close to the performance of double and double pane windows to close to that of triple
- 75% Total Solar Energy Rejection:
- Substantially reduces the solar energy entering through the glazing in the summer and reducing cooling system energy consumption
This combination of both solar energy rejection and high performance heat retention makes EnerLogic the market leading energy saving window film, providing savings in all seasons.
Benefits of EnerLogic
- Financial:
- Fast paybacks
- Year-on-year energy cost savings in every season
- ‘Always on’ technology that requires no energy to function once installed
- Significant savings over warranty lifetime of the product (15 years)
- Reduced need for installing or increasing AC capacity
- Immediate effect with minimal maintenance
- Environmental:
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improving environmental performance and helping to meet emission reduction targets
- Employee Comfort:
- Reduced glare, solar heat gain near glazing and temperature variations
- UV protection:
- 99% reduction in UV emissions protecting employees as well reducing fading of textiles and furnishings
- Compatible with high efficiency lighting:
- Minimises iridescence (rainbow) associated with old low E film technology when exposed to high efficiency lighting
Potential Building Energy Savings
The savings which window film can achieve varies between buildings. They are primarily influenced by the building fabric (including glazing type and area) and the systems used to heat, cool and ventilate the buildings.
Using building modelling software Llumar’s Energy Solutions Team can provide an Energy Saving Assessment calculate potential energy, cost and carbon savings for a specific installation.
