Up to 40% energy savings SABIC Innovative Plastics' model-scale† energy consumption studies at the Welch Technology Center in India show that by using Lexan® Solar Control IR® sheet, interior heat build up can be reduced significantly, which could result in 25%-40% energy savings in a temperature controlled environment.
In figure below, the relative annual energy consumption to maintain room temperature between 20 and 27°C is shown for several materials. Lexan Solar Control IR sheet shows the lowest energy consumption compared to other glazing solutions.
The result can vary with building design, climate and heating/cooling equipment. Therefore SABIC Innovative Plastics has developed a calculation tool to estimate energy savings as a function of several of those variables. Please contact SABIC Innovative Plastics Sheet & Film development engineers to get a personalized estimate of potential savings for your project.
† SABIC Innovative Plastics conducted a climate simulation on a model building (8m x 6m x 2,7m) with an 12m² window (looking at north) and 48m² roof glazing surface.
