And the Heat Goes On…
Federal scientists recently announced that June was the hottest June on record for the planet, marking the third month of the year that's been record warm globally.
"The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for June 2015 was the highest for the month of June since record-keeping began in 1880," NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information said in a statement. No matter what part of the world (and certainly any part of the USA) you’re in; it’s hot!
What does that mean to you besides being uncomfortable and humid? It means a much harder hit on your wallet in the form of air-conditioning and refrigeration costs. When you have a situation that combines our country’s aging, mid-century electrical grid with increasing peak energy demand, but not a lot of new generating capacity, we may face brownout situations; experts say. That’s why is so important to look for every advantage possible to cut those energy costs. Take for instance a product like residential film NC from a company such as Sun Solutions. Window tinting film rejects up to 70% of total solar energy, blocks 99% UV rays, and blocks 98% of all infrared light (main cause of heat). Return on investment is often less than three years and some utilities even offer rebates for window film. The International Window Film Association (IWFA) estimates installing window film may cost up to 91.5 percent less than installing new windows.
According to information shared by many utilities, solar control window films applied to existing glass in windows and doors are an effective method to reduce peak demand during these hotter than normal months and conserve energy. In addition to the energy management benefits, their use may also reduce exposure to ultraviolet radiation and reduce glare, as well as the money they save on utility bills.
Without getting to sound like a “weather-geek” the hot June we’ve experienced continues the pattern of unusual warmth seen throughout the year: due in part to El Nino, a climate pattern marked by warmer-than-average water in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm water helps boost temperatures in the atmosphere around the world. It can well be expected that the second half of the year will also see above average temperatures. Residential window tinting NC and Hunter Douglas Honeycomb shades by Sun Solutions may be your best long-term investment against the ravages of summer’s sun on your home, your skin, and your wallet!
