How the Right Film Can Enhance Indoor Air Quality

摘要

Window film was invented to reduce temperatures in manufacturing facilities. Too much solar energy entering existing windows and fixed glass increased heat, making employees unproductive and air conditioning more expensive to operate. Today, however, the issues facing the managers of manufacturing facilities and related decision makers extend beyond overheating and energy conservation. Today's indoor building management challenge includes dealing with stale, under-ventilated and circulated air, moisture and mold growth, out-gassing of equipment and building components and the impact of such conditions on the productivity, health and well-being of shop floor and back office employees. Ironically, many of the measures taken to increase energy efficiency such as "tightening" buildings to reduce both air infiltration and outflow have contributed to negative impacts on a facility's environment and air quality.
