A bronze mylar film has been applied to all of the lobby windows in the Alliance Center, reducing glare and saving energy. This film rejects 99% of the Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting furniture and carpet from fading and sun rot. By reflecting 60% of the heat, it lowers the temperature up to 15 degrees on sunny days. In the winter, the film reduces heat loss by reflecting heat generated within the building back into the room.
Daylighting offers many psychological and physiological benefits. Studies have proven that children perform better, have more positive moods, and are absent less often in schools with daylighting. In typical facilities, initial cost increases for daylighting implementation can be paid back within 36 to 60 months.
