Protect people and property.
Reduce cooling energy.

Solar-control window film is a passive retrofit that can reduce solar heat gain through glazing. This may lower cooling demand, improve occupant comfort, help protect interiors from sunlight-related deterioration and extend the useful life of existing building assets. These outcomes can support environmental, social and asset-management priorities within a wider ESG strategy.

IrisPro architectural window film reduces part of the solar energy entering through suitable glass. A smaller solar load can help air-conditioning systems maintain indoor comfort with less cooling demand. Actual energy savings depend on the building, glazing, façade orientation, weather, occupancy, HVAC efficiency, controls and selected film.

It can contribute by reducing solar cooling load, but the result is building-specific. Electricity and emissions reductions should be estimated from a documented baseline and verified against post-installation energy use, operating hours and the applicable electricity-grid emissions factor. Window film should be considered one measure within a complete energy-efficiency plan.

IrisPro follows four stages: assess the building and existing glass; specify film around heat, daylight, comfort and façade requirements; install professionally with planned disruption; and document the product, installation scope and agreed performance review for project or ESG reporting.

Window film may contribute to relevant GBI assessment areas when its performance and project documentation support the applicable criteria. IrisPro’s architectural window-film solution at OCBC Tower contributed towards four GBI points according to IrisPro’s project record. Points are not automatic and remain subject to project design, documentation and assessment by the appointed GBI team.

Environmental priorities may include lower solar heat gain, cooling demand and energy use. Social priorities may include thermal comfort, glare control and protection for people near sun-facing glass. Governance support comes from responsible specification, technical documentation, installation records, warranties and transparent performance claims.

A suitable film can reduce excessive solar heat and glare near windows, helping create more comfortable spaces for employees, students, patients and visitors. Selected IrisPro UV+420 products also extend wavelength protection through UV400 and HEV blue-violet light up to 420 nm. Film selection must still preserve suitable daylight and visibility for the space.

When the existing glass is safe and compatible, window film can improve solar performance without replacing the complete glazing or façade. Retaining usable materials may reduce disruption and avoid part of the material demand and waste associated with full replacement. A site and glass assessment is required before specification.

Yes. By reducing ultraviolet exposure, solar heat and part of the visible-light contribution through treated glass, window film can help slow sunlight-related fading and deterioration of curtains, flooring, furniture, artwork and upholstery. It cannot eliminate fading because interior ageing has multiple causes.

IrisPro recorded a surface-temperature reduction of up to 10°C after applying solar-control window film at the Federal Hotel project. This is a project-specific surface-temperature result; outcomes at other buildings vary with glass, film, orientation, weather and measurement conditions.

By reducing solar heat entering the cabin, window film may reduce air-conditioning demand and help conserve battery energy. Any driving-range improvement varies by vehicle, weather, route, film specification, parking exposure and climate-control settings.

No. Window film is a complementary passive measure for glazing. Whole-building performance also depends on HVAC efficiency, insulation, air leakage, shading, controls, maintenance, occupancy and operating practices.

Define a baseline before installation, including energy use, occupied hours, weather and comfort complaints where relevant. For a true concurrent temperature comparison, one Testo temperature data logger with two connected long needle probes can be used: place one probe on the floor near the tinted window and the other near the untinted comparison window at equivalent distances and positions. The single logger records both temperatures over the same moments, avoiding the changing conditions that can affect separate thermometer readings taken at different times. Record the probe locations, test period, weather, installed film, treated area and results. Glass-surface temperature alone should not be used to judge heat rejection because film may stop more solar heat at the glass, causing the treated glass to become warmer while less heat reaches the room. Use qualified energy or green-building professionals when formal reporting or certification is required.

Available documentation may include product technical data, relevant test or certification records for selected products, film and glazing specifications, treated-area details, installation records, warranty information and agreed project measurements. Required documents should be confirmed during specification because availability varies by product and project.
