An Alberta Company Is Leading The Way in The European Green Energy Sector
Window Innovations from Red Deer, Alberta has been enlisted to improve the energy efficiency of one of the oldest and few remaining historical buildings that survived the bombings of WWII in Berlin Germany.
The Hochzeitshaus is 121 years old.
Preserving the architectural appearance (including windows) of historical buildings is governed by German law. Compliance will not allow the installation of triple pane or new energy efficient windows. Windows may only be replaced with original glass quality, resulting in continued high volumes of energy consumption through significant heat losses and gains.
Window Innovations is bringing a solution to Hochzeitshaus. Their roll-on liquid nanotechnology coating improves window efficiency by 75%, and since their product is clear after application it maintains visibility through the windows unlike most traditional window films.
Stefan Forschle, Chief Operations Manager at Window Innovations Ltd. commented,
“Our coating reduces Infrared Rays (IR) up to 85% and Ultra Violet Rays (UV) up to 100%. It prevents heat from entering through the windows in the summer, and it prevents heat from escaping out in the winter. This translates to more comfortable and consistent temperatures all year round, and extends the lifespan of HVAC systems since they don’t have to work so hard to moderate temperature.”
Forschle adds, “As a small Red Deer, AB based company we are thrilled to be able to provide our service this far abroad. It is rather impressive that a Canadian company is ahead of the typical leading European energy savings sector.”
Forschle and his team of application specialists arrived in Berlin, on June 15th and the project was successfully completed on June 24th.
