Advanced Window Film Scaled Field Placement – Phase II Report

This report is the second phase of a technical analysis that evaluates the savings potential of ‘advanced window film’ products that may offer improved energy performance relative to traditional tint films. This phase consisted of field installation of advanced films and on-site monitoring or energy use, and incentives recommendations. The primary objective of this project is to provide unbiased, technically sound information that will allow customers, trade professionals, manufacturers, energy efficiency program administrators, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about window films such that both long-term energy savings and owner/occupant satisfaction can be optimized. Another objective is to provide data that will directly inform PG&E’s incentive strategy to fit the needs of the customer, maximize cost-effective energy savings, and align with long-term energy efficiency goals.
