CPFilms EnerLogic Low-E Window Film

The EnerLogic window coating from the St. Louis firm CPFilms, offers energy savings across the seasons by redirecting solar and radiant energy back to their sources. "Low-e" is short for "low emissivity," an industry term meaning something that emits and absorbs relatively low levels of radiant thermal energy. When professionally applied to the inside surface of your existing windows, this particular low-e, microthin film reduces heat transfer through standard windows by 43 percent, the company claims, in addition to blocking harmful UV rays.

Statistics are whatever, of course, but the point is that such reflective coating lets very little of the radiant heat emitted by a room interior pass through glass to the outdoors. This means your co-op or condo's heating generator, whether it uses oil or natural gas, doesn't have to work as hard or consume as much fuel. The EnerLogic window coating can also add up to nine LEED points toward Green Building Certification, and may even provide a tax credit. Because let's face it: No matter how cold it gets outside, none of us have money to burn.
