This project with large window areas is installing sun control window films which rejects 72% total solar energy and gives 66% of solar heat reduction. We are doing an energy model for the HVAC performance, but there is no credit awarded for energy reduction from the window film, is there anywhere else we could incorporate this energy saving? Does anyone have experience with a similar ID credit for this situation?

Vous pouvez re-poster votre commentaire dans la section EAC1. Je ne pense pas que en dehors de EAC1 d'autres points soient possibles. Cordialement. Excuse my French !

Hi Julien, I agree with Sylvain’s suggestion to post this query on EAc1. Anyways to answer your query,i believe that the solar control film manufacture would be able to provide you with the reduction in U value & Shading coefficient value of the glazing (thermal properties) through the use of the solar control film and these values could be inputted into the energy model to reap the savings from the film.
