Analyst Review

Climate change is challenging for thermal protection in commercial buildings. To overcome this issue, heat insulating films are used specifically at the windows or any other opening of commercial buildings. Heat insulating films improves cooling efficiency in summer and heating efficiency in winter. The increase in the usage of vehicles for transportation has boosted the automotive heat insulating films industry as these films ensure safety and privacy. Heat insulating films are attached to the window of the automotive, which does not change the appearance of vehicle and makes it more comfortable. Heat insulating film blocks the heat and reflects UV rays, thus allowing comfort inside the automotive cabin. In addition to that, heat insulating films has shatterproof capability that reduces the scattering of shards of glass after a fracture of glass, which not only makes the car interior more comfortable however also provides safety. Temperature imbalance inside commercial buildings is caused due to excessive heat transfer and heat loss that occurs through large windows. However, HVAC systems are used to maintain the temperature inside commercial spaces and buildings. These systems are cost driven thermal insulation products. Commercial window heat insulating films are cost-effective products available in the market. These films are retrofit heat insulating products that are installed on the commercial building windows. Commercial window heat insulating films are capable of reducing heat transfer and heat loss, thus the temperature inside the commercial building spaces can be controlled without using HVAC systems.
