Energy efficiency

The issue:

Excessive use of air conditioning, due to solar energy, with resultant increased CO2 emissions.

The use of electricity produces CO2 and with air-conditioned office space having tripled over the last decade and on the increase, saving energy in non-domestic buildings is, according to ACE (The Association for the Conservation of Energy) and The Carbon Trust, the sector where much greater savings are possible.

High temperature in buildings is invariably caused by energy from the sun. 86% of total solar energy is admitted through clear glass. This coupled with ever increasing fuel costs and the introduction of a 'Climate Change Levy' on energy used calls for prompt action!

If you want to help temper global warming by reducing carbon emissions then using a cost-effective glazing material that will also save your business money in the long term is a smart move.

The solution:

Solar heat control film and coatings.

Pentagon Protection supply and install solar heat control window film and InfraMax® Energy Efficient Coatings that reduce the transmittance of light and infrared heat through glass windows and doors. This reduces heat gain and provides many immediate benefits.

With our sputtered films and coatings, the cooling loads demanded by air conditioned buildings can be substantially decreased. This gives business managers the possibility of significant savings in energy costs, including a reduced climate change levy liability, whilst maintaining workplace comfort.

Selecting the correct product for the type of glazing is not always straightforward. Pentagon Protection, as specialists in solar control and heat reduction will of course provide assistance in product specification and recommendation.

The latest Pentagon InfraMax® Energy Efficient Coatings offer increased heat reduction and energy efficiency with maximum visible light transmission whilst retaining the aesthetics of your premises. It is ideal for heat gain reduction with historical or listed buildings.

A combined safety/heat reduction version is also available.
