Quantify the benefits of window film before you buy
Panorama window films provide one of the top energy saving solutions
available for your building. It can be installed quickly and
professionally, allowing you to begin realizing your energy saving goals
without delay.
Using the Panorama Energy Toolbox, your dealer can estimate your long
term energy savings and a projected payback period based on your film
choice. And, rebates and tax credits can be applied to offset initial
costs, accelerating your return on investment. Long term savings and
comfort benefits go on for years.
When considering your film options, examine multiple factors and
performance specifications. Custom reports generated by the Panorama
Energy Toolbox help you quantify energy savings and comfort enhancements,
providing you with data and recommendations for film installation.
Building information modeling
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a sophisticated energy analysis
process that simulates projected energy savings due to window film
installation. BIM provides an anticipated return on investment (ROI)
payback schedule for window film projects before film is applied, assuring
you that energy savings will be achieved.
To help our dealers provide BIM services Panorama Technical Services
has developed an Energy Toolbox to analyze your needs and generate reports
that illustrate how different films will perform, so that you can make an
informed decision. After looking at scenarios and data from your project,
an energy-saving window film strategy is recommended. Technical Services
can also suggest tools for validating the results once the film has been
installed.
Toolbox software
Panorama Technical Services has developed a suite of software for BIM
simulations to perform energy analysis on a variety of structures, from
small offices to large complex commercial buildings. For highest accuracy,
the software is selected for each project individually, based upon the
type of building, its size and shape, the type of windows and the facades.

Toolbox services
The Panorama Technical Services team has comprehensive experience and
knowledge in the field of energy. The team’s qualifications include IWFA
certification, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
certification, testing experience and energy simulation experience.
Technical Services can provide a full range of services, including:
-
BIM simulations
-
Recommendations for the most cost effective or efficient
approach to energy projects
-
Up to date information on energy legislation, such as:
Toolbox industry standards
The Panorama Technical Services team uses reliable, industry approved
standards for all calculations. DOE-2 and ASHRAE 90.1 calculation
procedures drive all Panorama building information modeling.
The toolbox process
If you need a BIM analysis to justify your window film purchase, request
an analysis from your local Panorama dealer. You will be asked to provide
the following information to complete the request:
-
Location of the building and building orientation (N, S,
E, W)
-
Number of stories and number of occupants
-
Floor area and shape
-
Type and construction of walls, floor and roof
-
Glass area for each facade and shading of windows from
awnings, trees, etc.
-
Type of heating and cooling system, including power and
efficiency
-
Location of vents and thermostats as well as the
thermostat settings
Technical Services Consultants will choose the appropriate
resources and tools to complete the simulation. In certain instances,
multiple scenarios can be run to evaluate different options.
As ROI analysis becomes the norm rather than the exception
for commercial building projects, consider the Panorama Energy Toolbox to
help shorten approval cycles or to meet tax credit or rebate requirements
for energy-saving window film.
