Steal Energy From The Sun with the EEM!
That’s right! Not only can the EEM, Energy Efficient Mortgage be used to finance energy upgrades for home buyers and homeowners alike, it can be used with Space-Age products like Solarized Window Insulators to reflect the sun out in the hot summer and literally generate "Free Heat" from the sun.
In fact solar heat transmitted through untreated windows is often the cause of local discomfort. Occupant complaints about excessive heat or hotspots can be resolved by installing proper window insulators. With the silver reflective side facing the outdoors, these insulators reflect 50% of the solar heat and transmit only 25%. They help moderate temperature variations over time, greatly improving thermal comfort.
In winter months, reversing the insulator to position the opposite side to face indoors can improve comfort by utilizing the solar loading capabilities of the product.
In effect, window insulators like these produce "Free Heat from the Sun". A four-foot square portion of a properly insulated window provided a heat gain of 2096 BTU/hour which is equivalent to a 600-watt electric heater. This was proven in a laboratory test performed by Yellot Solar Energy Laboratory.
In addition, the proper window insulator blocks nearly 89% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which contribute to skin damage and skin cancer, and are the leading factor causing fading to interiors.
