Solar insulation film slashes office building cooling costs by 9%! 🌞🏢
The study looked at how a special window film can reduce heat and energy use in office buildings in Singapore. By using computer simulations, researchers found that applying the film lowered the amount of heat coming in through the windows by 13% and reduced the need for cooling by 8% on hot days. Overall, the building saved about 9% on cooling energy costs each year. The shape of the building also affected how much energy was saved, with buildings with a more compact design seeing bigger reductions.
