Window films reduce AC loads by rejecting the solar heat gain transmitting through windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every 100 square feet of window film, one ton of air conditioning is saved leading to significant savings and increased tenant comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2011 DOE report identified energy window films as a \u2018first tier technology\u2019 with an approximate 3 year payback for buildings. Window films ranked as the building envelope retro-fit with the highest probability of success and have an exponentially better ROI than replacement windows.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-80e1ac38\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-80e1ac38\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowfilmdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WFDCommercialBrochure.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-mobile-width=\"500\"  data-scrollbar=\"none\" data-download=\"on\" data-tracking=\"on\" data-newwindow=\"on\" data-pagetextbox=\"off\" data-scrolltotop=\"off\" data-startzoom=\"100\" data-startfpzoom=\"100\" data-toolbar=\"both\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">WFDCommercialBrochure<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-736b8622 wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><a class=\"gb-container-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kGXEGQLnIZo\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-efa66d50\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-24f956b7\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-24f956b7\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"View 1 minute solutions video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kGXEGQLnIZo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-1b0e4cd4\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1b0e4cd4\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-29d5901b gb-headline-text\">Why Choose Window Film Depot?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1992, Window Film Depot has been working hard to build a truly unique national business to serve its commercial and retail customers.
