XTRM installation upgrades energy efficiency
Property: Higher Education Campus Building
Film Type: SolarZoneXTRM Silver 20X
Size of Job: 4000ft2
Dealer: Florida Films
Estimated annual AC Energy Savings: $3,000
Project Task
The Brandon Campus of Hillsborough Community College (HCC) is a center for teaching and learning in the liberal arts, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. The contemporary campus design meant an abundance of glass, which in the Florida sun resulted in overheating and discomfort, excessive energy bills, and even damage to sensitive lab equipment.
Mr Correggio Reaves, Brandon Campus Facility Manager, consulted with the energy efficiency experts of Tampa Bay Trane, who suggested he investigate energy control window film as a solution. Together they approached HanitaTek, who realized that due to the sophisticated glazing units, standard interior window film would have little impact on heat control of the building.
Solution
The natural solution for making high performance windows even more effective was the installation of window film on the exterior of the glazing, so the film would reject solar energy before it could penetrate the glass. After completing a series of glass/film modeling simulations, the HanitaTek team offered a range of exterior installation solutions. Silver 20 XTRM provided not only the best performance, but also a stunning appearance. Backed by an outstanding ~15 year warranty, Silver 20 XTRM was the film of choice.
Outcome
Exterior installation of the film ensured no business interruption or occupant interference. The effect was immediate, with temperatures in some hotspots dropping from 95-100˚F to 80-81˚F. “Before having the film, the people in the building needed to move away from the windows due to the high temperatures,” said Correggio Reaves. “The window frame is not hot anymore after installing the window film - and it used to pop like popcorn!”
In fact, where the air conditioner was running for over 2.5 hours prior to occupying the building, now only 30-60 minutes’ cooling delivers the same effect. As a result, the Variable Frequency Drive data, a prime measure of HVAC wear and tear, was reduced from 76% to only 40%. And most importantly, HVAC energy consumption showed a marked drop, with estimate
savings of over $3000 pa.
Another bonus? The enthusiastic feedback of students and staff to the transformation of the building.
