The Denver sun has a reputation for being IN-tense and rightfully so. At over a mile high the sun is especially powerful here and as such, can cause problems for front range citizens. Those who work in large office buildings and skyscrapers have it especially hard because the upper floors in taller buildings are directly in the sun’s path and have no place hide from the glare. Too much exposure to sunlight can cause a multitude of problems for building owners and tenants alike. While window shades offer a bit of relief, the fact that they block all natural light and are extremely expensive, make them a marginal solution at best. A cost effective and superior solution to the problem of the extreme sun on Denver office buildings is Day Light Redirecting Window Film.
The Benefits of DayLight Redirecting Films for Denver Office Buildings
Essentially, Daylight Redirecting Film redirects excess light deeper into your building, thereby increasing daylight penetration. When natural light goes further into a building it provides the benefits for both building owner and tenants alike.
Daylight Redirecting Film Benefits For Tenants:
• Reduced glare and discomfort caused by direct sunlight
• More natural light (as much as 40 ft or more into the building)
• Higher Productivity
• Less Absenteeism
Daylight Redirecting Film Benefits For Building Owners:
• Up to 52% lighting energy savings compared to baseline usage
• Savings of up to 1.5 kwh/sq ft of floor area
