Retrofitted Windows for Commercial and Residential Buildings

 In commercial buildings around 75% of the energy consumed by business is spent on heating and cooling. The windows are the main contributors to the heat loss since windows constitute 70-80% of the walls.  Fortunately, it is not hard to slash energy bills costs and reduce energy consumption by a factor of 3 by decreasing heat flow through the windows using our technology.

But even more importantly, decreasing heat transfer through the windows will increase your building’s star rating. It will make your premises much more attractive for tenants and will increase the value of your property.

It also allows you to contribute to the reduction in the fossil fuel depletion and in the decrease of greenhouse gas emissions thereby reducing your impact on the environment.

A traditional approach to improving the insulation of commercial buildings is to replace all windows with new double glassed windows. Unfortunately, the replacement of existing frames and windows is a costly procedure significantly impacting normal business operation. For the many days required for this replacement, the business can't proceed as usual. The impact on business combined with the cost of frames and labour involved into the replacement make this procedure unfeasible for a majority of businesses.

Fortunately, with our technology there is an alternative.

According to Australian Bureau of Statistics an average Australian household spends 35% of energy costs for cooling and heating of houses. With the electricity and gas prices continue to raise, it is expected that this alarming number will increase to 45-55% in the near future.

The most of Australian houses were build prior to the adoption of the last edition of Australian Building Code with mandatory double glazing windows. Only in Victoria 2.5 millions of houses were built with single glazed widows. Since windows surfaces constitute 40-70% of the walls the heat loss through the windows is significant. As a result the majority of the money spent for heating and cooling of your house is actually wasted cooling down and heating the atmosphere.

An often overlooked aspect of personal discomfort is the absence of sound insulation. Our lives are subject to a cacophony of different sounds. Some of them are quite pleasant but most are just unwanted noise. While good sound isolation will not cut your bills immediately, it will have a pay-off in the improved health of you and your family.

It's important to note that improving the insulation qualities of your home has a beneficial impact on the environment due to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and reduction in overall energy consumption.

A traditional approach to slash the costs and improve insulation of your house is to replace all its windows with specially fabricated assemblies consisting of new frames and double glazed glass. These assemblies improve thermal efficiency of your house by reflecting sun light during summer time and preventing heat dissipation during winter.

However, the full replacement of window frames is a lengthy, noisy and dusty process that attracts high labour and material costs. You can insulate walls and ceiling without great disruption to your everyday life. The window demolition process usually creates a lot of annoyance to you and your house members, presents a huge impost on your family budget and makes replacement unfeasible for the majority of households.
