Window Films
There are a variety of window films on the market including: metalized, ceramic, Low-E, and SpectraSelect.
The type of film you choose depends on your overall objective and budget, but they will all help you cut down on your cooling expenses.
Windows account for 15% of your homes energy loss and an increase in your cooling and heating bills. Window films can help cut from 50-85% of total solar heat rejection which can ultimately save you hundreds of dollars a year on cooling costs -- click here for a calculator to see your savings.
Dual-pane windows should have an exterior reflective film applied to ensure that not more than 49% of heat is absorbed - this will help keep your windows from breaking.
Single-pane windows can utilize any type of film as non-reflective and reflective are safe.
Looking to have Low-E glass? Consider EnerLogic from Vista Window Films. EnerLogic has a slight tint to the film, but cuts 70% of total solar heat and has a winter radiant heat protection of 48%. Not only are those percentages amazing for a slightly tinted film, but furthermore EnerLogic has an emissivity rating of .07 (1.0 is a typical window), which means that the film works not only to block heat when the sun is directly shining on it, but also to block heat transfer when the sun is not shining on the window.

EnerLogic can take your single-pane window to a double-pane and a double-pane to a triple-pane at a 10th of the cost of replacement windows!
