How Do Solar Sunscreens Save You Energy?

   Solar Screens are one of the most cost effective treatments that the ZeroEnergy Team can add to your home to help significantly lower your energy bills. Solar Screens work by stopping the heat transfer that occurs through your windows and doors without compromising your view. The ZeroEnergy Team offers several solar screen options ranging from 80% to 90% heat blockage and all of our screens are guaranteed to look great, stand up over time, and keep your home cooler which will save you money on your utility bills. Solar sunscreens are another great option to combine with our radiant barriers, insulation upgrades and solar attic fans.  

   Sun Screens work by stopping the sun's rays before they hit the glass. The sun hitting your glass windows will produce about 230 BTU's per square foot of glass, which is how heat gain get transferred in to your living areas. The U.S. Department of Energy has found that shading the outside of exposed windows or doors is the best way to stop heat build-up and the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse says that roughly 40% of heat build-up and heat loss is through the windows and doors inside of your home. External shading is the most effective home treatment to counter these effects. Shading the exposed window and doors with Sun Screens can reduce room temperatures by as much as 20 degrees.
