Starcom had always suffered from problems with extreme sunlight on their building on Howland Street. By the afternoon, the light coming through the windows was making it very difficult for staff to see their screens as well as heating up the floor causing them to use the air con all day at a lower temperature. This not only had a cost implication but an environmental one too. They have blinds onsite but, because they didn't want to completely block out the sun by replacing them with blackout blinds, they looked for another solution. As well as this, they had held their ISO 14001 certificate for just over a year and were looking for further ways of reducing their carbon footprint and lessen the demand for increased air conditioning.
iGP surveyed the site and installed Sterling 20 solar film to the windows. This has combated the glare problem in the afternoon as well as reducing the demand for air conditioning meaning use of less energy to cool the office down.
