So, you’ve carefully considered the merits of our energy control window films here at Opalux, including such products as our exterior-applied and Low-E variants, but you’re still unsure about the cost savings that this type of window film could make possible. What should be your next step?
Well, it may be that a computer simulation program could assist in determining whether purchasing a particular window film from us would give you worthwhile savings.
How does the program work?
The simulation is based on the principle of whole building modelling, necessitating the collection of a significant amount of data about your building if the most accurate result is to be achieved.
The process entails your Opalux dealer collecting the relevant information and forwarding it to our Technical Department, so that we can then run the simulation. However, having this simulation performed is far from the work of a moment, as the Opalux dealer will need to carry out an in-depth survey of the building fenestration.
Indeed, your dealer must also assess how feasible the exercise is at all, and give you a timescale and price for the whole building analysis if you do decide to proceed. Nonetheless, it may turn out to be better for the dealer to make their recommendations to you on the basis of empirical evidence, instead of going as far as undertaking this expensive procedure.
Nonetheless, if it is ultimately judged to be a good idea to carry out the simulation, a wide range of inputs will need to be collected – including building shape and orientation, information about the HVAC system, cooling and heating temperature settings when the building is occupied and unoccupied, gas and electricity rates, total building area, and other details.
